<P class=MsoNormal>I hope you don't mind me e-mailing you with an off-topic
question on export controls, but I thought that this group would have people who
are able to reply knowledgeably. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am acting for a UK-based book publisher that is proposing
to publish a book for programmers concerning a particular Adobe design software
product and they want to include a tryout version of the software on a CD to be
distributed with the book.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Adobe
have agreed this, and asked the publisher to sign a licence, which includes the
following clause: <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>"<U>Export Controls.</U><SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Licensee acknowledges that the laws and
regulations of the United States restrict the export and re-export of
commodities and technical data of United States origin, including the Tryout
Versions.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Licensee agrees that it
will not export or re-export the Tryout Products, or any portion of the Tryout
Versions in any form, without the appropriate United States and foreign
licences." <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>My questions are: <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>1.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>What are the
export controls to which the above clause refers, and where can I find details
of them? <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>2.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Would such
controls be understood to prevent the distribution of the book, bundled with the
tryout software on CD, in the USA and Europe? <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Any assistance would be welcome and much
appreciated. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Best regards</P></FONT></DIV>
