Yes, you always have to obey the law when you export.  But this clause
seems to imply that the associated software *knowingly* triggers the
export laws, probably in a bad way.

Do you have a different opinion, and is it a legal opinion?

Either this clause needs to be hoisted to the front page of the FreeBSD
distro proper ("Some software contained within may be subject to...")
or it should be removed from this software entirely.

Burying it is irresponsible.
