Mach HAD been on the controlled export list, it is being taken off, and
may already be off.  This means that you can give it away to anyone in the
so-called "free world" provided you do something like get a form from them
saying that they won't export it where they shouldn't.  The Athena people
have even less paperwork:  if you want to FTP Kerberos you get pointed to
a full that says "if you promise not to break US Export regulations, you
can pick up the distribution from ...full pathname..."

The multi-level secure version of MACH being done by TIS (?) will be on
the controlled list.

It is all stupid short-side US Politics; anyone technical involved with this
will quickly tell you that.
