It was an Intel subsidiary. The article is not very informative. It appears as if Wind River didn't file for an export permit and the BIS fined the because of it; moreover, they voluntarily disclosed it [0].

- the_ancient 12y agoYes because one should have to file for a permit to export math (or anything else)
- LLWM 12y agoThe law says you do. If you want to change that law, fine. But if you choose not to comply, don't complain when you get fined for it.
- nitrogen 12y agoWhy shouldn't someone complain about a law, even if they already knew about it? The false dichotomy between "obey and complain" vs. "get caught and shut up" isn't necessary.
- LLWM 12y agoBecause it's obnoxious?
- thoughtpolice 12y agoBecause sometimes it's annoying and simply stupid. Case in point: posting stupid reductionist arguments about "exporting math" are obnoxious and completely frivolous, especially when it literally ignores everything substantial about the law. After all, if I give north korea blueprints for nuclear reactors, that's just paper right?! It's just math on paper! What, that's not the same? Sure it is - quit trying to stop me from exporting paper! You do see how the grandparents point is obnoxious and stupid, right? Or do you not because it simply aligns with your worldview?
