The original code for PGP was distributed that way. Which was also banned in the US.

But yeah, it is a pretty bad comparison.

When was PGP banned in the US?

It wasn't, its export was controlled https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy

My bad. It was export restricted and they were prosecuted for it. That’s the reason they had to publish it by book.
