Hi Peter,

Welcome to CAcert, and thanks for your help!

I can´t find much CA related in both documents. I can only find things 
about the (to me already known) encryption/signature products, but nothing 
that clearly refers to CA´s.
And since CAcert does not distribute/sell/export/... software (or any other 
encryption devices/products), I don´t think that it applies to CAcert itself.

Now I read the second document (742.pdf), but I don´t think that a 
certificate 
can be classified as "material necessary for encryption". I think that they 
meant something else there.

By the way, CAcert is based in Australia, so it does not fall under 
USA-export 
restrictions, only import restrictions could apply (but I haven´t heard about 
something like that yet)

The only import restriction is DMCA, which is not a topic for CAcert, as far 
as I know.
