Export restrictions on the encryption components I'd imagine.

The introductory download page says that
the software is not intended for use by government end-users,
but there are explicit exceptions, including EU countries,
several others in Europe, plus AU, NZ, JP, CA.

The appropriate steps for (out-of-US) export of the crypto-related
programs in Plan 9 have been taken.  Your own export controls
may differ.

Dear Mr. eat.my.dick,

just downloading worked fine for me (being from Germany).  As far as I understood
downloading is only prohibited if you work for the german government.

Regards,
Sascha
