Terms of Service for Haskell community server
Dear Haskellers, as some of you may have noticed, the Yarrow home page has to be moved because of the migration of the Haskell.org server. It has been recommended to me by Ian Lynagh to transfer the files to the new community server. To do so I need first to request for an account there. This includes producing an ssh certificate. I will try to solve this problem. (May be there will be questions in the future.) The more severe problem is related to the Terms of Service which I have to accept with the account request. It contains lots of legal stuff which I do not understand including regulations for US export controls. Of course I am neither able nor willing to send reports concerning Yarrow to the US government! Are there some experts or tutors who want to help me to understand the Terms of Service especially the export controls? May be these regulations do not apply in my case, because I am living in Germany? (I have expected lots of work to be done with respect to the migration, but I did not imagine to be involved in legal affairs which I do not understand.) Thank you very much for your patience. Kind regards Frank Rosemeier

That only applies to open source encryption code. (Under US law, encyryption software is considered a weapon (!)) It looks like this doesn't apply to Yarrow so you need not worry about that bit.

Are there any other particular parts you don't understand? Everything else seems fairly standard to me. Only use it for Haskell-related stuff; keep your password safe; don't store any inappropriate content; they are not responsible for any loss of data; etc. etc. -Brent
