Hello List,

I've applied for and received an assessment of the Codec 2 software by my local (Australian) Defence Export Controls (DEC) organisation:

1/ It has been assessed as "listed" on the Defence and Strategic Goods List, which means it may require a permit to be exported or published in activities which are "controlled".

2/ However my current "activity" does not require a permit as the software is in the public domain.

3/ DEC would like to be contacted if the software ever gets used for military applications, or in weapons of mass destruction (!).

I guess it's a compliment that the capabilities of Codec 2 border on those considered important by defense organisations.

Users of Codec 2 in other countries might want to ask for a similar assessment to make sure you stay on the correct side of your local law.  I would guess that many countries have similar laws - they tend to be aligned.

- David
