+That's a provision of the U.S. govt, (followed by the canadian and many other 
+govts), which means that mirrors can't be located in such countries.  But there 
+is nothing to stop residents of those countries from downloading the software, 
+except censorship by various govts.  (Which does happen.)
+A mirror is not initiating the transfer, and likely has no idea of the real 
+source of the download request.
+
+That said, I'm not very comfortable with the 30-day trial aspect.  I don't see 
+our role as distributing shareware.  But whatever is decided ...
