There is a simple solution to the export restrictions.
AFAIK Mandrake's primary ftp is on ftp.sunet.se wich is in sweden where we have
no NSA etc blocking export of crypto. So just make sure it is a european who
build the packages and put them on the ftp. If some US server is mirroring it.
Then it is an import not an export. and yet again AFAIK that is not illegal in
the us :)
