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:
|
|
|
+Use and transfer of Docker may be subject to certain restrictions by the
|
|
|
+United States and other governments.
|
|
|
+It is your responsibility to ensure that your use and/or transfer does not
|
|
|
+violate applicable laws.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-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.
|
|
|
+For more information, please see http://www.bis.doc.gov
|
|
|
|
|
|
-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.
