Dear Wine developers,
SourceForge blocked download for some countries by default, such as Iran. (More detail can be found herehttps://sourceforge.net/blog/some-good-news-SourceForge-removes-blanket-blocking/ )
So, if it's not illegal to you to let Iranians download your software, please go to the SourceForge's ProjectAdmin, and set the ExportControl option, to let us enjoy the great work of yours.
Wine does contain cryptographic algorithms which are object to US export control, so making it available for all from sourceforge would make SF and us liable.
That said, there might be more than just the SourceForge download page to get Wine sources which do not enforce Iran blocking, see http://www.winehq.org/download/ for some links to try.
Ciao, Marcus
