:-)

Note that it is entirely legal for US citizens (or anyone in the US)
to IMPORT DES code; do feel free to access the FTP sites mentioned.

But (the silly part:) you can't then RE-EXPORT it. So don't: just
include a reference so your customer/whatever can get it themselves.

It ain't Born Classified, but once it gets here, it is ... this
is a really good example of just how ridiculous the restrictions
have become; time to forget about software, and let the (limited)
enforcement resources concentrate on things like Klytrons and
kilograms of Plu-235. [end political soapbox]
