Hi,

You must be in the US or Canada to download the software. If you
subvert our download procedures, be aware that you are in violation of
US export laws.

I know this sounds silly, but, it is the US law.

For example, US citizens traveling on business are not allowed to have
"strong crypto" on the laptops that they carry with them. The
regulations *are* meant to cover export of software outside the
borders of US or Canada.

If you want to express an opinion to the US government about this
policy, please do! Some URLs are

US Dept of Commerce www.doc.gov

Export Policy Resource Page www.crypto.com

Computer Systems Public Policy www.cspp.org

As a US-based company, we do not invent the export policy, but we have
to abide by it. Thanks for understanding.

Marianne
