Re: [Savannah-help-public] Cryptographic software legal notice

[Eran Strod]

Hi Karl,

I manage the Koders.com open source source engine which Black Duck  
took over a little over a year ago

I saw this news item on the Mozilla Foundation receiving a no  
violation letter from the Commerce Dept and I got curious about how  
other open source sites and projects are handling this.

I went looking for references to License Exception TSU and found it on  
a few project web sites, kernel.org for example.

Did you register savannah.gnu.org with the BIS and NSA or are you  
requiring individual projects to register themselves?  Also, are you  
blocking access for any countries to savannah.gnu.org?

Thanks,
