+<h2>The Wassenaar Agreement</h2>
<p>
Our first information about the new Wassenaar agreement came in the
form of a newspaper article, which said that export of encryption

+software would be prohibited—and this seemed to include free
software. So we posted an announcement seeking people in
non-Wassenaar countries to participate in distribution and development
of free software for encryption.</p>

<p>
Subsequently the actual text of the new version of Wassenaar was
published. Then we saw that it continues to have an exception that
-seems to cover free software. (They use the term "public domain", but
-they seem to mean something like free software by that.) So the
-problem seems to have been a false alarm.</p>

<p>
However, the US continues to seek such restrictions, and therefore it
makes sense to continue our preparations, as a precaution in case a
future version of the Wassenaar agreement places further restrictions
on exportation of free software.</p>

According to the General Software Notes, entry 2, the agreement does
-not cover software which is in "the public domain". This is defined in
-the definitions as technology or software which has been made
-available without restrictions upon its further dissemination.
-There is also a statement that copyright by itself does not
-deny a program this "public domain" status.</p>

There are currently discussions about the agreement and it would seem

Recent news indicate that the Australian government has prohibited the
export of free software for encryption by modifying the Wassenaar list
