I had the same feeling, so in that case I suggest that in the following page http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/FreeMedia/FC6DVD/December the phrase "(Embargoed Destination)" be "(Embargoed Destination if sent from US)" or something. After all, fedoraproject.org is on the *World* Wide Web. :) The following page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal/Export reads clearly: "Fedora's software and/or technical data may NOT be exported/reexported, either directly or indirectly, to the following U.S. embargoed or restricted destinations: (...)" I think this must be specified to "from the US" I guess. I do wonder what "exported, either directly or indirectly" means; It's FLOSS, and anyone connected to the internet even on Fiji can just download it legally, but if it's on a disk, suddenly it's a matter of US National Security? regards, herman Op do, 04-01-2007 te 12:05 -0500, schreef Stephen Krenzel: > I'm not a lawyer either, but last I checked...
