WWW guys:
I just received this from someone about Google archiving being
terminated. Seems amazing but I checked Google and it seems true.

Yeah, I noticed that last night --- they seem to have shut it off as of
the 16th or so. We should probably tell people about this on all the
mail lists and encourage complaints.

I can't believe either of those claims.
Where does one complain to, exactly?

Google is now archiving us again!

Notice the current dates and no mention of the archive being stopped.

Hi all
A German company wants (maybe) migrate to PostgreSQL and asked:
- is PostgreSQL classified? Does it have a ECCN (for example 5D002,
5D992, etc.)??
- is PostgreSQL considered as EAR99 product
- are there any export restrictions for PostgreSQL?
Thanks in advance
Conni

Why would a German company care about U.S. export classifications?

They e-mailed me as well. I told them that
a) I had no reason to believe that PostgreSQL was considered a "US Product",
and
b) that they needed to talk to an attorney.

Well, I don't know what else we can do, but I have sent them a message
asking them to reconsider their decision. I guess the more people that
do the same, the more chance we have of getting it switched back on.
Perhaps Marc can fire a message at all appropriate groups?
I hope this isn't the start of them winding down the not-so-profittable
bits of Google...
Regards, Dave.
