I think Tim was working on one of them.
I think we need a top-level README file with the crucial export notice. This README can then be included in all the jars. We don't seem to have a top-level README anywhere but perhaps something like the appended text would do for now? I think that would be acceptable for M10 but we can always refine the top-level README later and consider whether more specific README files might be appropriate for individual jars. I'd appreciate comments and/or permission to commit the README and necessary jar changes (which I'm preparing a patch for)?

The aim of the project is to produce a large and healthy community of those interested in runtime platforms tasked with creation of: * A compatible, independent implementation of the Java SE 5 JDK under the Apache License v2 * A community-developed modular runtime (VM and class library) architecture. For more information about using Apache Harmony see: http://harmony.apache.org/quickhelp_users.html Export Notice ------------- This distribution includes cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption software, to see if this is permitted. See http://www.wassenaar.org/ for more information. The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object code and source code. The following provides more details on the included cryptographic software: Apache Harmony contains code that is specifically designed to enable cryptography. In particular Apache Harmony contains an implementation the Java cryptographic extensions. In addition, binary distributions of Apache Harmony may contain cryptographic functionality provided by The Legion of the Bouncy Castle (http://www.bouncycastle.org).
