Recently
there was much gnashing of teeth as SourceForge (who shares a corporate
overlord with Slashdot) started programmatically
blocking users in certain countries to comply with US export restrictions. Thankfully they didn't let it end there and have found a way to put the
power back in the hands of the users.
"Beginning
now, every project admin can click on Develop -> Project Admin ->
Project Settings to find a new section called Export Control. By
default, we've ticked the more restrictive setting. If you conclude
that your project is *not* subject to export regulations, or any other
related prohibitions, you may now tick the other check mark and click
Update. After that, all users will be able to download your project
files as they did before last month's change."
