Those issues are many, varied, and... I have no idea.  Whenever the
D-4 come up, I call the lawyer that specializes in this and wait for a
go/no-go.

ITAR regulations are sufficiently complex that trying to armchair
quarterback it is not a good idea at all.  A lawyer that knows ITAR
should be contacted and briefed on the project.  I'd also suggest
reaching out to your DARPA PoC and asking for assistance because they
should probably have explained this stuff up front.

They do?  The folks I've spoken to hadn't even heard of it, but it
probably wasn't their job to pay attention to drone-type stuff.  I
know the FAA's not a happy camper right now, but that's due to
deployment too close to restricted areas and not the actual existence
of open source drones.

Off-topic stuff follows: See next message if you're not interested.

Busy.  Getting ready to present at a conference.

We think we know what's wrong, but could you open a ticket in our
bugtracker on Github so we can document it along with the fix?

Excellent.  What does he think so far?
