Not true. The info lives on Geocities but the actual downloads come
from .au and .uk.

That would make things *really* interesting. I personally think the
gov't will not go so far; it would engender a well-financed and very
public legal challenge to the ITAR regs. At this point the reason
ITAR is still around for crypto is that most people don't understand
or care about the issues. Prohibiting export of Netscape would put
the whole issue in the public eye in a big way, which I don't think
they want.
