For all I know the website and repository are both located @ the XS4All colocation, so how does US export problems apply? It would apply if the box would've been hosted in the USA, but they're not for all I know. It's one of the reasons FreeBSD had their ebones repository located in Zuid Afrika back in the day. Nowadays they can just include all the relevant bits in the repository. So I wonder how applicable the entire US export restriction still is nowadays. In short: I don't think we have much to worry about. -- Jeroen Ruigrok van der Werven <asmodai(-at-)in-nomine.org> / asmodai イェルーン ラウフロック ヴァン デル ウェルヴェン http://www.in-nomine.org/ | http://www.rangaku.org/ | GPG: 2EAC625B Wisdom is the difference between knowledge and experience... _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
