Good news, they have added the option to lift those restrictions. It's 
now up to the project admins to decide for their own project.

The problem for FPC specifically is that it includes some cryptography  
units, so we cannot change it. On the other hand, FPC also has non- 
sourceforge mirrors.

Problem still holds. If you accidentally on unknowingly introduce code of
mass destruction smile, or the US Government things your code is
considered rogue they will try and jump on your case. :-( Simple things
like cryptography units is an issue.

Having this hanging over your head is not what I call in the spirit of the
open internet. So what Martin did, by moving his project to BerliOS is a
good move.

I'm considering my options too (self hosting or external non-US hosting),
and moving my project away from SourceForge.net. Even though my country is
not affected by this, this whole idea of banning countries is ridiculous.

And now one risks that the US government sues the admins of the projects if
we click the wrong Export Controls option? Much too dangerous.
I export prohibited technology from USA to banned countries which falls
under US law. And US government has the possibilities to enforce their will
in my country. We will stick to BerliOS.
