My understanding was that SourceForge is claiming that the specific OFAC sanctions against Iran would take precedence over the munitions export controls which were indeed relaxed for non-sanctioned countries. It just hasn't been challenged yet.

They can claim whatever they want as their excuse. They are wrong, but its their choice if they don't want to do it.

Are you both suggesting that the core bitcoin development group (who are listed at bitcoin.org) remove the checkbox that blocks SourceForge downloads to sanctioned countries?
