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.
