The announcement particularly concerned these SDAs - the
announcement said that HP had now "received government
approval to export" these SDAs to a list of 5 favoured
nations: the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Denmark and
Australia.
I wonder what deals the U.S. government has made with those countries,
especially France. And I wonder if it would take a Freedom of Information
Act lawsuit to find out.
