· Under ITAR, fundamental research exclusion is recognized, but purposely limited, given ITAR’s jurisdiction over goods and technologies designed to kill people

· Covers information “which is published and which is generally accessible or available to the public” through a number of mechanisms including:

—     Unrestricted publications;

—     Fundamental research in science and engineering at accredited institutions of higher learning in the U.S. where the resulting information is ordinarily published and shared broadly in the scientific community

—     Excludes information restricted for proprietary reasons or specific U.S. government access and dissemination controls
