The US export regulations no longer prevent export of crypto. PGP exported binary copies of PGP from US websites, as now do many other companies. Crypto source is exported also from numerous web sites.

I don't follow why all the discussion talking as if ITAR and EARs were still in effect in unmodified form.

There is still the prior restraint of having to notify BXA when code is posted. And there is still the influence of the securty types over export licensing. Also there is the recent DeCSS nonsense. Linking is not speech? So what is interesting to me is not so much crypto export regs as it is when is something speech and when is it not. I'm pretty much at peace with my own opinion that I can write and publish in electronic form anything that I can on paper in any language I please and that nobody has any business trying to control me. The different treatment of electronic vs. paper publishing is still open even if the crypto regs have been tweaked Mike
