Based on the name, I assumed you were in Scandinavia or something; from whois, though, it looks like you're in California. That means you're just uninformed :-)
First of all, it has been several years since crypto was restricted as weaponry; it changed to be restricted as crypto. Second, in January of this year, a long promised revision of the regulations made it possible to freely export "open source" software (which doesn't mean DFSG, though I'm pretty sure anything DFSG-free would qualify.) You need to report a URL to an email address at the BXA, but that's reporting-only, *not* a request for permission; look for the "Exception TSU" text. Third, and finally, on October 19, 2000, the TSU exception was amended to permit the export of binaries compiled from TSU-exempt source code. In particular, see: http://www.bxa.doc.gov/Encryption/regs.htm http://www.bxa.doc.gov/Encryption/pdfs/EncryptionRuleOct2K.pdf There's a thread starting on debian-legal to get this straightened out so that we can start including real crypto apps in main :-) _Mark_ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Herd of Kittens Debian Package Maintainer former commercial Munitions Exporter ps. yes, legally: back then even if you got all the licenses, it was still a munition :-)
