Default DAFIF going away?

For my waypoint generators, my main source for data for outside of the US
is the Digital Aeronautical Flight Information File, a product of the US
National Geospatial Intelligence Agency NGA (Formerly NIMA - National
Intelligence and Mapping Agency, I think, but that's not relevant anyway).
I've been hearing nasty rumours that the DAFIF file will no longer be
available on the net for free download, and the CD won't be available to
non-government users.

That could be the death of my waypoint generator for outside of
the US.

Does anybody know about this?
