The ITARs are currently keeping us(Netscape) from distributing our US-only products to people within the United States. We have asked for clarification from the government about network distribution, such as how much verification of location and citizenship of the recipient we must do, and have yet to receive a response. That makes it more than just an export issue, at least for us.
And I agree that this is a much more important issue than whether a t-shirt can get an OK for export or not.
If the CJR for the t-shirt is ultimately granted, what useful information will be derived, or what implications for Netscape's question will be discovered?
If the CJR for the t-shirt is ultimately denied, ditto?
It will force the bureaucrats to make a decision, which will be the subject to much public scrutiny. Hopefully it will generate a stir in the press and inform many more people of the problems of the current system. --Jeff -- Jeff Weinstein - Electronic Munitions Specialist Netscape Communication Corporation jsw@netscape.com - http://home.netscape.com/people/jsw Any opinions expressed above are mine.
