The
United States Bureau of Export Administration regulates the
export of
sensitive technology to potential
doers of evil, and the
Entity List is just one of the mechanisms they have to decide who is good and who is evil. Companies and organizations on the Entity List are those who, in the view of the U.S. government, should not be allowed access to technology that could be used to develop
weapons of mass destruction, primarily
nuclear warheads and
ballistic missiles. The Entity List also regulates the export of
cryptology—when you download that nice new
128-bit encrypted browser, you have to certify that you aren't on the Entity List. In case you aren't sure, here's the whole list, as of
