A crypto library can't be exported even if it only implements
"weak" crypto since it would be simple for anyone to substitute "strong"
versions of a few central functions.

The government (US Dept of Commerce) grants export licenses to complete
applications, such as "HotJava using SSL" or "Web Server using SSL".

www.crypto.com tracks many of the legal and political debates.
