Re: VPN options not export restricted

David,

My understanding is that the export resreiction involves the sale of 
products and knowledge with regards to encryption technology.  As long as 
you don't sell it, give it away, or set up permanent residence with the 
software in your posession, then you can transport it on your laptop.

Like all laws, the details will be very pointed.  For example, I expect you 
could only transport the working program, not the installable media, nor 
an installable zip file, etc.

This is my understanding.  If there is information that I am missing in 
my response, I hope that someone will point it out for me.
