[tdwg-tag] LSID Sourceforge URL & LSID Best Practices

[Bob Morris]

Forgive me if this has already been mentioned:

The Google Terms of Service contain the text

"Users residing in countries on the United States Office of Foreign
Assets Control sanction list, including Cuba, Iran, Libya, North
Korea, Sudan and Syria, may not post or access Content available
through the Google Code website."

Residents of which, if any, of these countries are ineligible to be
TDWG members?
