Feb 24, 2012 at 1:43 comment added Kevin Vermeer @OlinLathrop - Your opinion is valued too. I don't have much else to say, except to ping you and drop this link: Should we allow legal questions, specifically questions about export restrictions in the US?
Feb 24, 2012 at 1:42 comment added Kevin Vermeer @JobyTaffey - I, along with Olin, disagree that "Only relating to the US" or "Only relating the EU" are too localized, but it is hard to draw the line between "Only relating to this province of Nepal" and superpowers like the EU or the US. That's an important consideration, and ought to be made at the meta question: Should we allow legal questions, specifically questions about export restrictions in the US?
Feb 24, 2012 at 1:40 comment added Kevin Vermeer @Adam - You make some cogent points. We've previously fielded questions like this. I've created a meta question on this issue here: Should we allow legal questions, specifically questions about export restrictions in the US?
Feb 24, 2012 at 1:16 comment added Adam Davis Export restrictions is a problem an electrical engineer might have, but it's not an electrical engineering problem - one that can be solved with the correct application electronic design. Therefore it's off topic for this site. Further, export law is complicated enough, and this question broad enough, that even if it were on topic it couldn't be correctly and succinctly answered in a reasonably sized question. You could fill a book with the answer to "Regarding electronic devices and components, where is the line between needing an export license and not needing one?"
Feb 24, 2012 at 0:26 comment added Olin Lathrop @Joby: That still leaves a lot of people that could benefit from the information.
Feb 23, 2012 at 23:58 comment added Toby Jaffey I think that this question is too localized, it's specific to US export law
Feb 23, 2012 at 23:30 comment added Kevin Vermeer There's a lot of misinformation and hearsay about these issues, let's try to keep answers focused on what the law actually says and back up these answers with links and quotes to the sources.
