Right, the main ftp server is in the Netherlands. All the rest are
(cached) copies. I'm not a lawyer, but I would say that this means that
the code isn't exported from the USA. It was already outside.
I'm not sure about the CVS server at SourceForge.
Generally I don't really care about these stupid US rules. The actual
result is not that access to strong encryption by non-US contries
decreases but that the development is done outside of the US, with the
effect that knowledge outside of the US grows.
