The license just partially reflect the existing export restriction of
the State Departement of the USAs.
As this apply to every exportation ( at least, RH take it seriously, as
well as almost every commercial developers that hired a lawyer to redact
their EULA ), and that mean for example java-1.6.0-sun rpm, should we
move it to tainted, along with firefox ( mozilla foundation is US based
), chromium ( google is US based ), and various RH softwares ( such as
system-config-printer ), or Novell one ( such as mono ) ?
( please note that the GPL has a dedicated section for that, see the
point 8 of the license, so they are not non-free due to that )
