Many times, the vendors of these programs (AutoCAD, dBase) have specialized
or copy protected versions for international shipment. Also, the distribution
channels are different as is the license fee.  We run into this quite a bit,
and although restrictions do exist on crypt type programs, for the most part,
major software companies have agreements with firms overseas to sell their
products.
