Comment on Fedora Linux- Opinion (violation of Open source)? by jerry t

This is a complex issue.
The link below explain what is meant by opensource software. Section 5 states: "Some countries, including the United States, have export restrictions for certain types of software. An OSD-conformant license may warn licensees of applicable restrictions and remind them that they are obliged to obey the law; however, it may not incorporate such restrictions itself."
It is not the software maker that can discriminate against users.
THe people in Iran etc do have access to opensource software. They have developed their own distributions and import it from friendly countries. On the other hand many of those countries do not allow opensource software for fear of what ideas may be generated in their country.
This is a complex issue.

Certain softwares must abide by the regulations set by the United States. the laws of the US still have to be followed even though it might seem contradictory to "open source"

It’s just the standard US export law. Federal law trumps all the other restrictions. In other words, if you invent some software that only works if the user is smoking crack, you can’t ship crack with your product in the United States because it is a banned substance (thankfully)

What it’s all about? You sell goods to foreign countries made in the USA and buy goods from foreign countries to sell in the USA. It would take days to go through a complete explanation. Sorry

Comment on How can i start Export Business? by phociny85

First you must know what type of product you want to export example rice, leather, pottery etc. You must choose the shipping company, container size and storage fee in the overseas country. You must have another business partner that buy and take care of the receiving shipment once it get there. This is just the basic, work in shipping company first and start your own later.

Comment on What are the docs required for Doing Export Business? by hydmanu09

Based on product, import licence may be required. To my knowledge, your product does not need import Licence.

Of course, for import / export of any goods out of India, one needs to have importer exporter code (IEC). You have to approach local office of Director General of Foreign Trade and submit application along with some basic documents. Link for application format and instructions for filing given below:
