Yes, but that's about exporting crypto software in general, which as
we've established can be done simply by registering the exports via
email. There's an overriding blanket ban on exporting *anything* to
the handful of embargoed countries, as Josh B pointed out.

In any case, our VP Finance is setting up a conference call with the
specialist lawyers we used in the past for this, so we can understand
the issues properly and figure out what we can do legally. We hope to
do that today or tomorrow and I'll report back as soon as possible.
