I don't get why I cannot freely download the java.security.* classes. They
do not contain any actual encryption code; Sun's provider is the one that
does that, and it is the only portion which should be export-controlled. I
do not see why downloading of the java.security classes by foreign
nationals, in order to write their own providers which could be used
outside the US, is a legal problem.
