Secure Computing's PR manager, Dave Burt, denies selling software to Iran but admits selling it to Tunisia - while being aware of its use. <BR/><BR/>See details:<BR/><BR/>http://ymor.blogspot.com/2005/06/and-i-almost-stopped-blogging.htmlYishayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09614876386903702832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467559.post-1119689528959572882005-06-25T13:22:00.000+04:302005-06-25T13:22:00.000+04:30David Burt, Thank you for your comment.

I believe you. <BR/><BR/>Please keep us informed of how your company is progressing with its efforts to keep Iran from making illegal use of your software.<BR/><BR/>And one more question: what if they use an ISP in another country? <BR/><BR/>Let me tell you how Iranians manage to purchase products that they are not allowed to have. They buy them in Dubai or Europe. The sales representative says to them: "I am happy to sell you our product, just don't tell me where it will be installed."<BR/><BR/>Do you punish sales representatives for making big sales? I doubt it very much.Kamran and Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17472269903227971301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5467559.post-1119539023905683242005-06-23T19:33:00.000+04:302005-06-23T19:33:00.000+04:30Secure Computing has sold no licenses to any entit...Secure Computing has sold no licenses to any entity in Iran, and any use of Secure's software by an ISP in Iran has been without Secure Computing's consent and is in violation of Secure Computing's End User License Agreement.
