He's looked into it. More importantly, others unrelated to the OpenBSD project have looked into it and have recieved the necessary permissions to export their cryptographic code. Canada's law have a loophole for non-commercial products. The code must have some Canadian content (that is, the code must be written by someone in Canada), I believe. http://insight.mcmaster.ca/org/efc/pages/doc/crypto-export.html is where I got my details from. See point number 3 which covers freely distributable software.... Warner P.S. The new US regulations are likely so vague and overreaching as to be declared unconstitutional, imho. The older, less restrictive ones were recently so declared.
