The reason why I wasn't too concerned about this is that it's the exact
same license as is used for the krb5 packages, which are also in main.

However, the whole export control stuff is probably irrelevant, since
kstart doesn't actually have general encryption hooks, only hooks that use
encryption as part of authentication, which as I recall is not actually
export-controlled.

I'm going to poke around here at Stanford and see if I can get approval to
change the license to remove the export bits and just go to a pure MIT
license.

Thanks for the report!
