As far as the GPL is concern they specify that this software is not
bounded to any country. OpenOffice.org is German but since Sun bought the
development it might be considered american. However Licensing it through
LGPL makes it countryless.

My PERSONAL opinion is that OOo is countryless, not bounded by USA
laws and therefore _it should_ be ok... but as before - get
professional advice.

Hello,
I am developping an application that heavily rely on
microsoft Excel at the moment that we are exporting to
IRAN and other countries under american embargo.
The problem is that exporting american software
(Excel), to IRAN is prohibited by american laws, so
the idea is to use OpenOffice instead.
My questions are:
Is OpenOffice american? or is it 'countryfree'?
Does it really have to abide by american laws?
Is exporting OpenOffice (or other opensource software)
to IRAN restricted in any way?
Thanks,
Lionel.
