Just for the record, not for argument .. I don't think that having a 
discriminating license in a nice idea, and I don't think that having Arabeyes 
contributing to it is a new idea as well .. 

And for the record as well, BSD, GPL for example does not bar any country 
from benefiting from the source, or bar any country from being exported to, 
the discrimination comes from the country rules, not from licenses ..
