I did not draw the right conclusions from that. I only read Texas

I looked for Stellarsiware on TO and got to
http://www.ti.com/tool/sw-drl

Trying to download, after using my TI login , I get to
https://focus-webapps.ti.com/licreg/docs/swlicexportcontrol.tsp?form_type=2&prod_no=SW-DRL-9107.exe&ref_url=http://software-dl.ti.com/stellaris/stellaris_apps_public_sw/latest/

with is the disclaimer for the US government export control. That doesn't
make me feel easy about the license :-(
