The export restrictions on cryptography are nasty to implement. But note that these export restrictions only apply to compiled binaries. If you want to, e.g., provide a CVS archive of the Plan 9 source code, all you have to do to comply with the export regulations is notify the appropriate folks (I suggest going through the crypto registration tee at crypto.com so that other people know that you have cryptographic source code for download). I won't comment on the whole license restrictions thingy, except to note that dozens of other major corporations have no problem with providing their software via a Mozilla-type license like the Plan 9 license without having to go through some sort of license front end. -- Eric Lee Green There is No Conspiracy eric@badtux.org http://www.badtux.org
