Do we have someone to confirm this?  On the admin interface there's
the following box:

    Export Control:
    This project incorporates, accesses, calls upon or otherwise uses
    encryption software with a symmetric key length greater than 64 bits
    ("encryption"). This review does not include products that use
    encryption for authentication only.

Which is unticked.  I was given the impression that only applications
affected by this would be blocked in those countries.  So Octave
Forge downloads should not be affected by those export laws.
