Would the above code be export-restricted because it contained wishful thinking about how nice it would be to use encryption?
IANAL, but my guess is that no, that code would not be exportable. At least not if there really is a domestic vs. export version. Yes, it gets really fuzzy here. I think if you started with this code and didn't have any hooks at all, and only had a version (domestic and export) which contained this wishful thinking, you might get away with it. Then again, if that were the case it would not be export controlled in the first place since it doesn't use encryption ;) Yes, it is a huge can of worms. Worse, since it is done on a case-by-case basis, there really is no clear definition of where the exportable vs. non-exportable line actually is. You need to try it to test if it will work or not. -derek
