I am not spreading misinformation. David said it himself, that it's only the USA who blocks these countries.

And all I said from the start was these countries were blocked because sourceforge must comply to the USA rules, and asked if something could be done about it. The whole problem was *this* specific point which *only* applies in the USA. Anywhere else, even if we were in the bad groups who require control that David mentioned, users from those countries could download and contribute to the project. Carnë PS: Since it's anywhere else, it doesn't matter where I reside but for whoever cares, I'm from Portugal, living in Ireland and currently in training in the USA. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Octave-dev mailing list Octave-dev@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/octave-dev
