A few months ago I believe someone posted a note about the IEEE copyright policy and a DMCA-related requirement. This requirement was removed, but there are still some requirements in the new IEEE policy that many find objectionable. There is a section on "Export Control Law Compliance" (see below) that seems quite problematic. I've heard that lawyers from AT&T, IBM, Lucent, and Avaya are all telling their researchers not to sign this. Export Control Law Compliance The IEEE, a not-for-profit organization headquartered in the State of New York in the United States of America, distributes its technical publications throughout the world and wants to ensure that the material submitted to its publications is properly available for general dissemination to the readership of those publications. The undersigned hereby certifies that: (1) the information contained in any materials submitted to the IEEE in connection with the Work is not subject to any restriction related to its disclosure, because it is not defense-related, classified, or subject to any other disclosure restrictions by any government, including the United States government, that has authority to restrict the dissemination of such information; (2) any and all necessary authorization(s) from the undersigned's employer(s) for the disclosure of the information discussed in the Work have been obtained; and (3) the foregoing applies to all future versions of the Work, edited by the undersigned, an assistant, co-author or any person working with the undersigned. If the information is subject to any disclosure restrictions, the undersigned certifies that all necessary written authorization(s) for its public disclosure have been obtained and are attached herewith. IEEE reserves the right to refuse publication of the Work or participation at a conference for failure to certify the foregoing. ------ End of Forwarded Message For archives see: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
