OK...A question for you all:

If it is illegal (by our governments standards...) to export programs like PGP, etc., and you can send the whole source code in a message because that is also considered illegal, then could you send the code, broken up into many pieces, and send THAT in Email, would that be illegal?

I don't think this has been spelled-out clearly in the ITARs, much less tested in court, but the intent is clearly to subvert the ITARS. Isomorphic to shipping out a piece of military hardware in pieces, wouldn't you say? And don't forget the "structuring" laws regarding the reporting of cash transactions over $10K. I don't think this has much promise. --Tim May Boycott "Big Brother Inside" software!
