It is not explicitly exported by the FreeBSD Foundation, but its movement around the world is quite thorough, done by those who use it. There was a time that the encryption issue made things difficult for some people using FreeBSD, but the Gov standards were changed and the issue quieted down. I don't know if it is solved. ////jerry > > Connie > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jerry McAllister [mailto:jerrymc@msu.edu] > Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2008 9:12 AM > To: darko gavrilovic > Cc: Chocas, Connie S; freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org > Subject: Re: Free BSD 6.3 Export Control Classification > > On Tue, Jul 22, 2008 at 06:54:39PM -0400, darko gavrilovic wrote: > > > http://www.freebsd.org/where.html > > I don't see anywhere in that reference that the question is answered > or even alluded to.
