I think mpl complies with this spirit of this clause: no nation on the
restricted list could reasonably use mpl in an encryption/decryption
effort.   As for Jouni's explicit question: potentially copying some
encrypted font data but not encrypting or decrypting it, I think that
does not qualify as "otherwise use encryption of any kind" though I
suppose this is open to interpretation.  If we ever receive a
reasonable request from the justice department asking us to
cease-and-desist, we would certainly comply with that.

So I suggest leaving the export controls turned off, as Eric has done.
 Thanks for the head's up Matthew (I thought we had already taken care
of this ...)
