To summarize, I believe a separate crypto tree is still useful in Fink. Even if Apple has purchased a licence or permit to distribute openssl along with Mac OS X, for example, in Russia, I'm pretty sure that permit would not automatically extend to Fink as well.

We discussed this on IRC some more.

Fink really only uses a separate crypto tree because it was based on debian, which also used to do so. debian recently dropped the seperation requirement. They have scripts set up to send the proper crypto notifications to the US authorities and various other things, see
