Don't know about Intel, but IBM has an agreement with US-legislation, that we can ship code, hardware and knowledge freely between all of our locations. An export-licence is only required when code/hardware leaves the IBM-corporation. Technically IBM-Germany is a _German_ company, so that ITAR would not effect IBM-Germany. However, the agreement between IBM-corporation and US-legislation does have the desired effect (desired by US-legislation). This seems to be the way how ITAR is enforced with multinational corporations: they allow the very valuable exchange of knowledge, for the prize of the corporation as a whole `voluntarily' obeying ITAR. Of course all the usual disclaimers apply, ie I'm not a lawyer, don't speak for IBM and the weather is not my fault either.... Have a nice day!
