    I wonder if someone just got super annoyed at having to ask legal to share their documentation with a cooperation partner for export control clearance, that they decided getting it open sourced would be less of a hassle.

    Now they can freely link anyone to the document.

      This is 100% a valid workflow in DoD/ITAR fields. Suffer once through review, benefit eternally. It's especially important to get one good reviewed spec / presentation out, then all later reviews can be staged w.r.t. that one and are much easier to baseline and pass.

      That'll be $1000 consulting fee on ITAR compliance.

        Isn't $1000 a bit low for compliance consulting fees?

          Well given it took me 1 minute to type that, I consider it a loss leader.
