About the issueโ
Export restrictions (or a restriction on exportation) are limitations on the quantity of goods exported to a specific country or countries by a Government. The European Union has imposed export restrictions on a number of countries and regions. These restrictions may or may not apply to digital goods such as software and other related intellectual property. It is advised that the reported findings are put in the usage context so that they can be audited and reviewed by the legal department before the software package is deployed. Current list of countries with export restrictions includes: Belarus (.by), Iran (.ir), Iraq (.iq), Libya (.ly), Myanmar (.mm), North Korea (.nk), Syria (.sy), Venezuela (.ve) and Zimbabwe (.zw).
How to resolve the issueโ
- Investigate reported detections.
- You should delay the software release until the legal review is completed.
