I wrote: : : The ITAR do NOT apply to books. : : The only trouble with this claim is that it does not conform to the : language of the ITAR or with the whimsical practices of the Office of : Defense Trade Controls. There is no exception for books, except for : those that are in the public domain because they are sold in book stores : and at newstands or are found in libraries, and the ODT insists that one : cannot put a book into the public domain by putting it into the public : domain or by selling it in a bookstore. Whereas I meant to say: : cannot put a book into the public domain by putting it into _a : library_ or by selling it in a bookstore. I hope that this did not cause any confusion. -- Peter D.
