As noted above, the US government permits anyone subject to its laws and regulations to put open source encryption code on public web sites or FTP sites, in the full knowledge that anyone in the world can download it, including people in Cuba, Iran, etc.
This where the second part of the federal case comes in, as part of the case they appealed to a higher court and in turned had stopped. The reason the judge let the case be dropped (at that point in time) was only because they said they had no plans to actively prevent the export of crypto. Those wanting to push ahead with the case wanted the precedent to be federal, not just in the 6th circuit and the Clinton administration didn't.
