Thanks for posting this URL Peter. Of particular note is the heading:

43. Other goods as follows:

An anonymous opinion from inside the Defence Dept holds that electronic bits on a wire do not constitute goods, and as a result if you ship electronically, you are not subject to the regulations. If you ship a CD or floppy or other physical media containing software, you violate the regulations. I'll add this to the SSLeay legality FAQ - standard disclaimers apply of course, obtain professional legal advice before exporting SSLeay. ------------------------------------------------------------ Clifford Heath cjh@osa.com.au Open Software Associates Limited 29 Ringwood Street / P O Box 401 Phone +613 9871 1694 Ringwood VIC 3134 AUSTRALIA Fax +613 9871 1711 ------------------------------------------------------------ Deploy Applications across the Internet and Intranets!
