I wonder what effect the Wassenaar politics have to non-member countries of that agreement and how much those other countries support these US crypto regulations? As I understand Wassenaar is mostly meant for export of dual-use goods, not so much internal use although that is somewhat regulated also. If that is the case, we still have many countries left producing strong cryptography which can export it pretty freely. That is a great export potential for those countries, only US used to be out of the world crypto software market, now that there are 22 other countries, it is just great news. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania fortunately are not members of the Wassenaar agreement. And then we have places like most of Asia, Africa and South America.
