Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
May be that should change. A lot of facilities are using it and probably more
will be - why make available all details to any one without at least some check
as to who is requesting the information.
Mau be this issue should be revisited.

Actually export is not a problem according to the advice we were given when we
open-sourced EPICS. IIRC we were told something to the effect that the EAR-99
export restrictions (which we used to have to follow) don't apply to software
that is freely available for anyone to download. The APS web-server doesn't
have any rules that prevent access to the /epics/download directory from
restricted countries, and we weren't required to put anything in the license
about export limitations either.
