Thanks Bruce,
I would imagine keeping on the right side of the Defence and Strategic
Goods List and Ham Radio regulations (or the local equivalent in any
given country) would avoid any issues, and certainly the more dramatic
scenarios you have alluded to. I'll ask a few questions with my local
authorities - they were very helpful last time.
I also feel we need to recognise the international nature of this
project - and avoid being overly focused on US law. Hopefully we can
find a nice middle ground where we can all enjoy our hobby and keep our
governments happy.
A code of conduct for Codec2/FreeDV and this mailing list is a good
idea. The participant policies document is a good start, but has a
strong focus on gender issues and face-face behiavour. We could
probably get away with something shorter and more concise.

Besides ITAR/EAR, looking at the treason laws in the USA, there is
jail time for rendering aid to foreign military, and instructing in

the Attorney General (for careful watching).
I wrote participant policies for ORI about 2 years ago that IMO would
have helped the mailing list with some social issues, not just export
law. I think the Codec2 / DigitalVoice projects should edit out
references to ORI and adopt them. See
