I would like to know what Netscape's position on the above mentioned scenario is .. (Uploading "possibly" received 128 bit binaries to official netscape mirrors outside the US, that is) (guess why ...)

I guess I should look again, but I *thought* our licenses explicitly excepted use of "US-Only" software (defined in the license) from the standard exclusions. I think the attys lifted some of the definitions straight from ITAR and may have quoted 22USC. Maybe we screwed up and got the wrong license in the beta and missed the check. I don't know. I'll look. *sigh*

BTW, is the license essentially copyright-based? If so, you're going to have trouble using it in a country that you can't legally sell/give away with limits the stuff to; it is assumed that you aren't losing anything. I may be wrong, of course, but that's my understanding of how penalties, etcetera are determined under copyright law. -Allen
