Re: [LINUX5250] BXA export notification

Wow...  I have no idea what they're trying to say on this site.  I was
under the impression that since we don't do any cryptography in tn5250,
and since OpenSSL is a seperately-distributed item, we would not have
to deal with all of this.

I'm not a lawyer, nor do I have one that I can ask.  Does anyone have
access to a lawyer that this could be run past?   I'd hate to have to
hire one for the purposes of free software...
