| The following is courtesy of our legal counsel: |
| |
| Transfers of Docker shall be in accordance with applicable export |
| controls of any country and all other applicable legal requirements. |
| Docker shall not be distributed or downloaded to or in Cuba, Iran, |
| North Korea, Sudan or Syria and shall not be distributed or downloaded |
| to any person on the Denied Persons List administered by the U.S. |
| Department of Commerce. |
| |
| What does that mean? |
| Here is a further explanation from our legal counsel: |
| |
| Like all software products that utilize cryptography, the export and |
| use of Docker is subject to the U.S. Commerce Department's Export |
| Administration Regulations (EAR) because it uses or contains |
| cryptography (see |
| http://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/policy-guidance/encryption). Certain |
| free and open source software projects have a lightweight set of |
| requirements, which can generally be met by providing email notice to |
| the appropriate U.S. government agencies that their source code is |
| available on a publicly available repository and making the |
| appropriate statements in the README. |
| |
| The restrictions of the EAR apply to certain denied locations |
| (currently Iran, Sudan, Syria, North Korea, or Cuba) and those |
| individuals on the Denied Persons List, which is available here: |
| http://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/policy-guidance/lists-of-parties-of-concern/denied-persons-list. |
| If you are incorporating Docker into a new open source project, the |
| EAR restrictions apply to your incorporation of Docker into your |
| project in the same manner as other cryptography-enabled projects, |
| such as OpenSSL, almost all Linux distributions, etc. |
