I have several small projects housed at sourceforge.net that fall under a similar export restriction because they are housed there. Just using the arc4random() stuff (from OpenSSH) for linux requires one to report it to the US government because it uses crypto (OpenSSL) afaik. I believe the US government put pressure on sourceforge.net to adhere to export restrictions even if the developer is from outside of the US. Could it be that the same happened to FreeBSD and that's why the license change? regards, -peter
