As far as I know FreeBSD is not actually illegal anywhere in the world,
although I guess there may be a few unenlightened places where they
don't understand the necessity of strong encryption on today's Internet.
Even so, you can strip the crypto out, and it still counts as FreeBSD.

Anyhow, any local restrictions are the OP's problem: the only point on
which I or anyone else on this list are qualified to offer an opinion
is the interpretation of the various licenses involved.  Even so, it's
strictly amateur: I have no legal qualifications or license to
practice. [My advice is free and worth every penny. It even comes with
a full money-back guarantee...]

	Cheers,
