It's food.

I'd prefer if you said "part of the GNU ClasspathX project".

I'd also prefer if you waited till we had some text about crypto
export. However, the maintainers support forum are usually quite slow
to respond... the question is do we put the FSF at risk by offering
this for download without the text?

I guess one of the things we can do is offer it for download from
a European country. However, the CVS is in the states and there's not
much we can do about that.
