Why is it a bad idea? If you don't do it, you support the ITAR by your lack of action! Every day that you don't export strong crypto you assist the enemy.
Why not consider what the consequences will be? Do you seriously believe that this will make the government stop enforcing ITAR? Do you believe it will make them change the law? No. What it will do is make them remove our permission to distribute this stuff.
Remind anyone of the old aphorism "I will fight to the death the right to say it. Your death."? David
