[EAR = USA's Export Administration Regulations]

How would a mere downloader from a mirror, or a purchaser of a Centos
disk or even a beneficiary of a free Centos disk at a Centos event
beware of USA law restrictions and understand the full legal
implications of USA law ? 

Its reminiscent of the PGP farce from nearly 20? years ago.

With Google slowly removing, or not updating, the open source bits of
Android and replacing them by closed sources, will the same commercial
strategy emerge from Red Hat into Centos ?
