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. + +For more information, see http://www.apache.org/dev/crypto.html and/or +seek legal counsel.
