Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] Export Control for Devil Linux?

We are not above the law.
The binary versions (the ISOs) of DL are all compiled in the U.S., so I'm
pretty sure you're not allowed to use these.

I have no idea how the case is, when you compile your own version of DL. I
could imagine that it doesn't apply. But then, I'm not a lawyer...
