Re: New GCC Mirror in Iran

Kambiz Asadzadeh offered to contribute a new public mirror for GCC hosted in Iran. Mark Wielaard notes that due to U.S. Export Administration Regulations, explicitly facilitating the export of software from the U.S. to Iran might not be possible. They will seek legal guidance, which may take some time.
