Because the amount of paperwork needed to legally distribute it is
huuuuuuuuge. The US export laws do allow non-profits and indviduals to
distribute crypto things but they have to jump through a few hoops and make
sure they fill out oodles of stuff.
Avalon was going to distribute it until Craig dropped a note on commons or
ant list regarding this and gave a link. I followed it and it was much too
much work to get it done legally so we dropped it. Craig do you still have
that link ?

And we all know how JBoss only does things that are legal .... right ?
