Quite possibly they don't, and I'm not presuming to talk for
John. But the vague thoughts that crossed my mine were the
issues that allowed Phil Zimmerman to publish PGP source code
in book form and avoid conviction for munitions export without
a licence.
That was one of the examples I had in mind, along with a few
others.
However, given Paul's extensive legal experience and knowledge
of the details and applicability of export regulations and
associated case law, I apologize for wasting the time of people
on the list by raising this obviously spurious issue. I am
delighted that, on the basis of that knowledge and experience,
Paul was willing to step in on this issue and assure us that
there is nothing to worry about.
