Hi devs, I just learned (not from sourceforge) that sourceforge used to block access from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria because of some US laws prohibiting the export of encryption technology, which could apply to some projects. Now, this blocking has been removed on a global basis, but each project has a setting, blocked by default.
[ ] This project does NOT incorporate, access, call upon, or otherwise use encryption of any kind, including, but not limited to, open source algorithms and/or calls to encryption in the operating system or underlying platform. [ ] This project DOES incorporate, access, call upon or otherwise use encryption. Posting of open source encryption is controlled under U.S. Export Control Classification Number "ECCN" 5D002 and must be simultaneously reported by email to the U.S. government. You are responsible for submitting this email report to the U.S. government in accordance with procedures described in: http://www.bis.doc.gov/encryption/PubAvailEncSourceCodeNotify.html and Section 740.13(e) of the Export Administration Regulations ("EAR") 15 C.F.R. Parts 730-772. I have checked the first box. The closest thing to encryption is the SSL binding but it's just a binding. I almost wish we had encryption so we could disobey and even move from sourceforge and the US for this stupid policy.
