- It's important to note that this is in relation to real time position estimation. You can collect the signal measurements and process offline later for telemetry reconstruction.by angry_octet

- CoCom was terminated in 1994 and is entirely irrelevant by now (IANAL and all that)
What we have now is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassenaar_Arrangement
Fun fact 1: Switzerland (a major provider of GPS chips via u-blox) never signed or ratified CoCom. But they still followed it mostly, for fear of retaliation. They even had an allowance of "sell list 1 goods for up to 35 million Schweizer Franken" that they never reached, they only went up to 8 million Schweizer Franken. They however are a member of Wassenaar.
Fun fact 2: Russia is a member of Wassenaar. But I guess they now give a shit on it and give to North-Korea whatever NK wants, for all of these nice North Korean cannon fodder soldiers.
- Seems fairly useless to me, for a few dollars I can sample the L1 frequency with a dumb device which has no idea of speed or altitude, and do the calcs with FOSS which is in the wild.
Basically a rule which inconveniences the honest and has zero impact on the bad dudes, whoever they are
