Tim Bray relates a small story about Canadian customs and pc/software imports - I had a funny experience at the border once with Cincom Smalltalk non-commercial CD's. I declared them as I went into Canada to attend a conference - I had about 100 with me. The agents I met had the devils own time trying to figure out how to charge me fr importing free software :) In the end, they charged me $50 CDN and off I went. They didn't hassle me - it just took them awhile to figure out what to do.
