This has to be the most naive declaration that has come out of any administration in recent history:
“DEFCAD.org files are being removed from public access at the request of the US Department of Defense Trade Controls.

History tells us that they tried to pull something similar on Johannes Gutenberg but somehow it did not work either. One does not stop the flow of the Mighty Mississippi with a box of maxi-pads.
Nothing more than a “dare me not to”………….”build a better mouse trap”……. 🙂

But no, they decided to push, and I decided to push back.
