Tee-Shirt Contest & Countries Eligibility

[Baptiste Mille-Mathias <baptiste millemathias gmail com>]

Hello,

I've seen the foundation will organize a contest to design a tee-shirt
for the GNOME 3 release [1], and while reading the terms of the rules
[2], I found the first part of paragraph 4 particularly unfair to
people living in some countries.
GNOME being based on people and openness, I wonder how a Free Software
& Non-profit organisation wouldcomply with such US embargo related
laws.
How it could make sense to refuse a proposal for a contest, but coding
contribution and translations are accepted everyday?

If there's no way around such restrictions, could it be possible for
the foundation to look for some way to avoid them in the future (by
creating a delegation in another country perhaps) ?

Thanks for reading

Regards.
