I completly agree with you. However, what good is the export
regulations if the only thing that stopping me from dowloading the
source code of, lets say, the Rijndael (AES) algorithm is a notice
stating that i'm not allowed to download the code if i live in Iraq,
Afghanistan, etc?
what role does kerneli.org play in this? (is it still alive? i couldnt
reach it).
