Field notes
The letter is addressed to the dean of engineering and two university directors, and asks who reviews student weapons projects and what rules apply to university names, labs, and supervision. Its FAQ defines a binding limit as one recorded in a contract, licence, or charter, externally checkable and enforceable. It also distinguishes existing export controls from the public disclosure requirements the authors are seeking.
