This free office software is subject to strict US export control laws...

Due to some minor issues with OpenOffice.org, I thought I would try the one other free office suite - Lotus Symphony from IBM. Unfortunately IBM isn't sure whether they can trust such clever software to a foreigner like me! When I went to download, I got this message.
I'll keep you posted. I'm sure it's easier than getting a VISA...

Stumbled across this while googling that "error" - should I be worried that there no later posts to this blog? :P
