I've heard no evidence of this (and would find it *very* unlikely.) In fact, the FreeBSD web pages still tell people to go to sites in South Africa, Brazil, or Finland for the "eBones" and "secure" packages... Even better, the handbook (updated 25 June 1997) still specifically says "don't pull these two packages from the US..." > We dont have the same crypto restrictions you guys do. True -- but you also can't export stuff that has been exported from the US (ie. you can mirror the non-us stuff from germany, but you can't "backdoor" stuff out of the US even though you can legally get it from here.) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
