My point is that imagine you are a user from Cuba and you have downloaded
Fedora. Why would *you* care about the EXPORT CONTROL section ? What is
the U.S. going to do, embargo the country ? invade it ? :)

I personally find it very strange they put this in the EULA, because
putting the responsibility onto the user is very strange if you don't
trust that user in the first place.

this is a big contradiction, at least for me.

But then again, the file is there because of U.S. regulations, not Cuban
regulations. And hell, maybe they put it there to scare a few Cubans on

then you mean nothing legal here, just a way of scare people (just for fun?)

the way. It worked for you, right ? ;)

scared ? no. just confused.
