I can see two practical ways to build a netscape product outside the US. The first is to export the source code for the Navigator with the crypto code removed. All of the calls to crypto would have to be removed as well. I've heard some people claim that the government could come after us on the grounds that we were taking part in a conspiracy to export strong crypto.
If you properly apply for a license to export the source code (explainig that the source code licensee might add the features that he feels are appropriate), is it still a conspiracy?
