Correct. The restrictions here are only on export. The problem is that unless you are dealing with patches devoid of encryption, once that software is *imported* into the US (legally) we cannot make a debian package and ship it back out. Once its in, it must stay in. Hence US development of OpenSource encryption routines is essentially work that must be replicated by somebody outside of the country (except in the case where the patches don't pertain to the actual alghorithm, as I said). Flaming death to US encryption restrictions... -Seth
