Of course you can ignore the facts, that Germany, Netherlands etc.
countries have signed the arrangement, and enforce the restrictions by
local law (EU wide, I suppose). But it may not be wise to do so...
FPC and Lazarus are not the right platforms for propagating political
opinions. Let's simply remove the Blowfish package, and everything is fine.
I think it's a decision for the core developers, who need to ensure-
above all else- that they are not exposed to legal action in their home
countries by what the project puts on a server somewhere.
