vpn9c is a package which bundles vpnc user space vpn client
with a launcher gui.

[ EDIT 2012-10-23]: version 1.0 now available in Ovi Store
so rest of this message is irrelevant. Note expecially
that developer mode is not required anymore.


To get this package working fully on device developer mode needs
to be enabled -- Some credentials not available in unknown origin
are required and getting package to ovi store requires some
bureucracy (see below).

Go to https://www.nixuopen.org/projects/too/vpn9c/ to
get the latest version.

--

The "problem" with ovi store submission is cryptographic content
distributed in the package. When checking relevant buttons in
"Legal" page, the following request is presented:


A copy of the commodity classification ruling (CCATS)
confirming classification of the content under ECCN 5D992,
as a mass market encryption item under section 742.15(b)(2)
of the Export Administration Regulations OR a copy of the
“Notification” described in 742.15(b)(1), must be attached.

There is plenty of sofware with encryption functionality in
software distributed from common file servers (ssh, ssl, openvpn,
etc). So getting required "documents" for vpn9c should not be
too hard. But it still requires effort...

... if there is anyone who can provide tips how to proceed I'd be
grateful -- assimilating all the info 742.15(b)(1) (or 2) leads to
is so tiresome for such a free software project...
