> We are attempting to clarify if it is legal for us (KrakenRF, a US company that provides a physical SDR product) to also provide our own open source software that is made by us. As that could be seen as providing a full PR system.
Is the latest I found from them.
Almost any lawyer won't present the world as black and white, but rather in quantities of risk - and even saying "we've taken the project down and it wont be coming back" is a risk if that attracts attention to your past distribution of the software and causes others to mirror it from archives.
Even that’s asking for a lot.
Qualities of risk is more likely.
Additionally, it seemed like this page[1] (discussed previously[2]) details some reasons why some publicly visible source code projects should be able to include code that implements things otherwise under export control.
