Export regulations?Export regulations?Posted Feb 28, 2004 10:33 UTC (Sat) by chel (guest, #11544)Parent article: USENIX Letter to Congress Refuting SCO's Letter (Groklaw) It is nice Usenix, a well respected institute that worked hard to promote and extent Unix for a long time, makes a clear statement of support. In the paragraph: SCO specifically argues that open source software "has the potential to provide our nation's enemies or potential enemies with computing capabilities that are restricted by U.S. law." I think Usenix missed the point the Linux is not US software. It has its roots outside the US, further building has be done worldwide. How could a product like this ever be restricted by US export regulations. Most of it should comply US import regulations, not US export regulations.

Export regulations? Posted Feb 28, 2004 20:58 UTC (Sat) by tyhik (subscriber, #14747) [Link] SCO's theory is that their *US IP* is whathas made linux as it is now. That's why there is this export story. Maybe USENIX just didn't want to argue on that before the IP stuff gets sorted out in courts.
