I'm not sure if this is cynicism on my part or not, but I couldn't help but notice how it says "...in the creation of weapons of mass destruction *to be used by nations other than the US.*" (emphasis mine of course). So you *can* use plan9 for WMDs, but only in the United States of America.
I agree.

Found the download section which was amusing/disturbing: To download the software [plan9], you must fill out this form: Mandatory: I acknowledge that * the software is not intended for use by a government end-user except those in the United States, Canada, the European Union, Australia, Norway, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Japan, Switzerland, and New Zealand. (government end-users are defined in part 772). * I understand that the cryptographic software is subject to export controls under the Export Administration Regulations. * I understand that I cannot export the software without a license or other authorization. * I will not be using Plan 9 in the creation of weapons of mass destruction to be used by nations other than the US. Egads. WMD? Anybody ever try plan9? There was a claim on /. that OpenBSD wants to use the plan9 C compiler but have problems with the license (which I can see might be a problem for them). -- Mike Moving forward in pushing back the envelope of the corporate paradigm. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
