- rangestransform 3y agounrelated but it would be cool if someone opensources, say, rocket flight control software and get that part of ITAR deemed unconstitutional
- cdibona 3y agoPsu open sourced guidance software in the mid 2000s and it found its way into other drone corebases and into a variety of missiles, including the quassam 4. Since it was open source and developed in public ,the itar folks determined it was okay to release.
- cdibona 3y agoIt might have been OSU , not sure, it's been a long time.
- Metacelsus 3y agoThere are a lot of Kerbal Space Program mods that do this.
- gpm 3y agoITAR is an American law restricting the export of military technology... this is a Hungarian, formerly Russian, company. Why in the world would they need an American export licence?
- btgeekboy 3y agoI assume it’s a tongue-in-cheek reference to how the War Thunder forums have recently been used for multiple leaks of US military classified information.
- HideousKojima 3y agoUS, French, British, and Chinese so far by my count. I might have missed some of the other leaks though.
- btown 3y agoIs an open source game engine likely to cause those War Thunder forum participants with military clearances to become more angry in debates (because they can now see how the inaccuracies in specifications would impact the performance in game) or less angry? Either way, I doubt the impact is zero. So as something that has military effect, it might be covered under ITAR after all! /s
- foota 3y agoYes, sorry, I meant to edit this in but forgot :)
