This was done, according to Github, as a requirement to comply with the laws of its state. Software export is restricted to varying degrees, mostly encryption but there are other circumstances where export control exists on software (they used to be far more severe but have become considerably reduced). The BIS - https://www.bis.doc.gov https://www.bis.doc.gov - handles this and other CCL items. Here is the relevant CFR https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/CFR-2012-title15-vol2/CFR-2012-title15-vol2-subtitleB-chapVII-subchapC https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/CFR-2012-title15-vol2/CF... To export anything that contains encryption over 64 bits you have to register with the BIS and be reviewed before you export. Even open-source software requires that you notify the BIS. Other countries have similar export/import controls, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassenaar_Arrangement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassenaar_Arrangement See also: https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/policy-guidance/encryption https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/policy-guidance/encryption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureau_of_Industry_and_Security https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureau_of_Industry_and_Securit... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_Administration_Regulations#Export-controlled_items https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_Administration_Regulati... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of_cryptography_from_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_of_cryptography_from_th...
