    I thought OpenSUSE is German, so why would you export it?

    The only rationale is that it ships with cryptography that’s made in 'murica and probably stored in US servers, hence the export warning.

      openSUSE has German origins, but was bought in the past by Novell in USA, then went into other USA hands, and then it was sold to a Swedish company’s German sub division, and located in Luxembourg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SUSE_S.A.

        Enter the hefty fines. Like 5% of last year’s revenue.
