   Can you please in future provide some indication of how and when
   non US located networked people can obtain this software. Simply
   stating that export permissions do not exist begs several questions:

	   Has MIT even applied for an export licence?

No. Export licenses are obtained on a case by case basis for each export.
Ie. it isn't a simple form we fill out and submit to the government. The
process can be quite time consuming and costly. In general MIT does not
engage in export arrangements. Instead we expect that vendors will productize
our code and obtain the necessary export licenses when they have customers
who wish the product. Btw. There is no guarantee that an export license
request will be granted.

	   Is anybody else looking to get an export licence?

I think it is probably too early for most people to comment, any takers
out there...

	   Will this implementation appear in any form similar to the
	   "bones" release?

Good question. At this point we just got the "regular" release out and
expect to spend some time on bugfixes etc. Although we are not yet prepared
to make a commitment yet, I would expect that such a release will be available
at some point.

I wish I could have been more helpful. I didn't invent the COCOM
regulations, unfortunately, we have to follow them :-(.
