We have NO restrictions on cryptography and our copyright laws are pretty much in sync with the international community. ISPs all over the world are seeking the protection granted to "carriers" such as telcos rather than the burden of being the "publisher". The former are immune from what you say on the line: they lease wires... The later are responsible for everything YOU do, unless they can prove that you deceived them. Easier said than done. Usually, people are looking for venture capital from ANY source :-) and I don't see why an open source project based in Canada would not be able to accept contributions from the US or anywhere else. Theo de Raadt has a lot of success with OpenBSD, distributed from Calgary, Canada. Here is some dope on the Canadian Export Control List (http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ECL.html). However, if you have specifics, I will have a lawyer research this.
