	 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.
