A few weeks ago RedHat bought the part of Delix which produced DLD,
a german Linux distribution. The firm is located at Stuttgart, Germany
... this might be used as point to offer crypto stuff (unless U.S. laws
are that restrictive that the head will run into trouble, I don't know).
I think the fight against crypto export will become rather useless
because companies are currently forced to develop their crypto products
in a "free" area to be able to sell it in all parts of the world.
