Is there really a need to do this? Even Debian seems to have moved away from this approach: <http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2002/debian-devel-announce-200203/msg00019.html>. FWIW, here's a link to a real legal opinion on the export regulations: <http://www.openssl.org/~levitte/US-export-laws/> (which, summed up, says that whoever phrased them must have been smoking something illegal at the time). Here's another message (quoted) that implies that the export regulations are less stringent for open-source software (which is what we have here): <http://www-unix.globus.org/mail_archive/security/2001/Archive/msg00229.html>. I'm sure there are ways of clarifying these with real lawyers to make sure they apply (or find out that they don't apply) to our discussion.
