I would say that's still a problem. For example, we could use OpenSSL on our
network to provide acceleration for public DoD sites. Is that military use?
Suppose it's for use on a CIA extranet? Suppose it's for use on an internal FBI
network linking field offices to HQ? To the CIA doing the same thing
internationally? How do I decide? How does the OpenSSL team set things up so
that their (yes, yes, non-paying) customers don't do the wrong thing by default?
If you want to limit the use of your invention, which is entirely your right,
it is best to distribute it yourself.
