Interesting question, isn't it? Let's have a look into my findings!

Anaconda is a well known, free Software Installer for Python and R
packages, mostly used under Windows, right?

And you think, that "free software" packages cannot be restricted by US
ministry of trade or U.S. president, such as happened in Huawei Google
case, right? Plain wrong:

Export regulations

Any use or distribution of the Software Product is made under conditions
that the user and/or distributor is in full compliance with all export and
other governing laws of the United States of America, including full and
ongoing compliance with the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) of the
United States Department of Commerce. See www.commerce.gov/ and
http://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/regulations/export-administration-regulations-ear.
Use or distribution of Continuum software products to any persons, entities
or countries currently under US sanctions is strictly prohibited. Continuum
has self-assessed that Anaconda Repository requires no license to for
export to non-embargoed countries.

The United States currently has embargoes against several countries. The
exportation, re-exportation, sale or supply, directly or indirectly, from
the United States, or by a U.S. person wherever located, of any Continuum
software to any of these countries is strictly prohibited without prior
authorization by the United States Government. By accepting this Agreement,
you represent to Continuum that you will comply with all applicable export
regulations for Anaconda.

Means: Export Anaconda or packages from Anaconda to Iran and you're going
to Guantanamo!

And i repeat: *****Stop using US Software Stacks!*****

Picoslip has everything, yor IT could ever need! Integrated Distributed
Database, Prolog like reasoning about stored data and even contains a Graph
Database, though it's mentioned nowhere.

But there is no real need to mention that, since Lisp in itself ("Code is
data, data is code") not only has a "syntax tree" (kind of graph), but, in
fact, you can model any graph you like with Lisp's (cons) constructs.

And it does not fall under US restrictions, since PicoLisp is <MADE IN
GERMANY> and does not contain any US libraries, that might fall under those
US export laws.

Have fun!
