Interesting, isn't it, that the requirements are a combination of
nonsense and lies...

Huh? How? Even if it were possible - I have logins on machines in the
US, so I can pass this requirement, no problem.

Not so: the act does not apply to me.

Now I'm required to acknowledge something that isn't true!
Even if we ignore these problems, this doesn't actually enforce my
understanding of the export restrictions: under these rules a foreign
national on US soil can gain access to the s/w. I thought that wasn't
allowed?
