Not in any recursively unsolvable sense. The notice itself, and the
README file that contains it, are both freely exportable (the
definition of what is exportable is not carried in the notice, but
provided by State department regulations, and those regulations
discuss things like cryptographic software, not warning notices).
Things are set up so that you have to ftp that file first, in order to
find out how to ftp the rest, so you are reasonably certain to see the
notice in time to avoid accidentally violating the law.
It helps a little if you review Alice in Wonderland immediately before
examining the export regulations.
