I don't think you understood David's response, then. Apparently, the US does *not* have a blanket ban on all software export to those countries, otherwise the checkbox would not exist in the first place. Octave-forge does not contain encryption or access encryption in octave and is regulated under a different category. All exports are regulated everywhere. The actual regulations that apply to octave and octave-forge are essentially uniform with the EU. The US is not more strict in its regulation of octave and octave-forge than other countries. Whining about the USA's regulation of things that are not octave and not octave-forge is off-topic. --judd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Octave-dev mailing list Octave-dev@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/octave-dev
