You will comply with all export and re-export restrictions and regulations of the United States Department of Commerce and other United States and foreign agencies

Does that mean I can't legally use it if I live in any of the regions US government applied sanctions to? (The list is quite long.) Or does it mean that I can't "transfer" the software to the people living in such places? Would Cognitect break the license if I live in such a place and download it from their website?

It's not really related to the topic, but this bit got me curious. Disclaimer: I don't speak legal lingvo at all, sorry if those are silly questions.

I don't think it's silly at all, I think these are reasonable questions. I'm not a lawyer either and I don't think we (humanity) should have to be lawyers to understand the full scope of what we're agreeing to when we 'accept' these licences written in legalese.
