This was taken from a license agreement of a freeware software I once used: "EXPORT CONTROLS. None of the Software or underlying information or technology may be downloaded or otherwise exported or reexported (i) into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, Iraq, Libya, Yugoslavia, North Korea, Iran, Syria or any other country to which the U.S. has embargoed goods; or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Denial Orders. By downloading or using the Software, you are agreeing to the foregoing and you are representing and warranting that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list." And I thought it was freeware.... Isaac -- modified at 14:38 Tuesday 27th December, 2005

IIRC, this is taken from the original Java license. It reflects US jurisdiction rather than a technical limitation.

This statement is typical boilerplate to limit liability should the product be used in a real serious application :). I ran into this with Solaris. When Sun found out what my company was planning, they got all official like, and it escalated to lawyers. When our lawyers pointed out to their lawyers that our competitor was using their OS, and perhaps the Justice Department would like to know about this possible antitrust violation, blah, blah, blah, they looked the other way.... Now, the hilarious part about this post is that Windows anything could not really be considered mission critical, though it is getting much better. C. Gilley Will program for food...

actually, that is fairly common. In fact technologies invented in Europe or Asia or otherwise outside of the USA, once imported into the USA is a federal crime to re-export (thus the reference above) to any country on the list of enemy states. In some cases, such as advanced encryption, the charge & accompanied penalty is equivalent to exporting nuclear material. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
