You've got it totally backwards. We used to distribute software like this from servers outside of the US because those servers are not bound by US federal law at all. Currently we apply with applicable US federal law for servers inside the US, but the specific method that we use applies primarily to free software works. [Someone who is slightly more familiar with the export control regulations would have to say if something in non-free could go through the same process.] Don Armstrong -- She was alot like starbucks.
