[Ground-station] Call for Input - meeting with legal team about ITAR/EAR results

[Michelle Thompson]

Meeting went very well.

All input (plus some) submitted.

Draft FAQ, optional notice for those that absolutely must have one, and
one-line of training "If you publish, it is free" to be back in front of us
in about a week.
