I don't believe they're under the same legal gun when it comes to the
patent issues.  This isn't a crypto export issue, again, this is an
issue of what people in the USA are technically allowed to do with the
RSA reference code.  If Canada has reciprocal rights on patents or
something then they're indeed no better off than we are and I rescind
the above statement.

Yes, I think anybody can do the pkg_add step manually, but that's the
kind of "handwork" I was referring to.  What the ports collection and
sysinstall both offer is a degree of "transparency" which is supposed
to go beyond this, however.  Even pkg_add -r only helps if you have a
working network connection at the time.
