Restrictions on the Export of Cryptographic Software
The government of the United States of America considers certain cryptographic software, such as the Cisco VPN client, to be military munitions for the purposes of export, and restricts the distribution of such software from persons of certain nationalities, and to certain nations. This software contains sophisticated encryption features that make it a federal crime for you to do certain things with it, even inadvertently. Ignorance of these rules does not reduce your personal liability. Therefore please read the following guidelines carefully before accepting this software.
- You may not "export" this software to certain countries listed on the Commerce Control List, which currently includes Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. This prohibition on 'exports' means you may not send the software itself to such countries but it also means you may not carry your own personal computer containing this software into or through such countries.
- Anywhere in the world, even inside the United States, you may not transfer this software (or a computer containing this software) to certain persons or organizations or companies listed on the Denied Parties List. Such a transfer is a "deemed export" subject to federal Export Administration Regulations. So do not deliver or transfer this software or a personal computer containing this software to a national or resident of a foreign country anywhere in the world without first checking the Denied Parties List. If the intended recipient is listed or belongs to a listed organization or company, you must contact the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to apply for permission to make the transfer via an Export License. A transfer without the required license is a felony.
- By downloading and/or using this software, you accept full and personal responsibility for the custody of this software and agree to comply with all applicable export control laws and obtain all necessary licenses should you wish to "export" any copies of the software. Anyone who fails to abide by those regulations can be fined up to $100,000 and spend up to 10 years in prison. So if you download the software, you are responsible for that copy.
- Do not install this software for use by anyone other than yourself.
- You may download this software and use it while you remain at UNCG. You are expected to remove it from your machine if you leave UNCG.
- Do not supply this software to any person other than a U.S. citizen residing in the U.S. without consulting UNCG Counsel.
