Anyway I'm bound to the US rules and abide and respect them, and definitely am not a Lawyer, however my concern was not EAR (Export Administration Regulations) the law is much more complicated than just an export control regulation, By considering the source of the message coming from a known University in Iran working on dual purpose subjects, I personally prefer not to help particularly (on implementation basis), and I think I have such right. Tried to help as much as I could. Providing legal advice requires attorney-client privilege/relationship and I don't think just Google search result would be enough in such case. Anyway this is not a legal mailing list, technical aspects have been covered as much as it should, if you would like you may add additional notes. Best Regards, Patrick K.
