The last time this question came up, the response was as follows:

Our cryptography software portions (AES and DES) actually come from
OpenSSL and are not implemented internally.  Additionally, back when
export restrictions were relaxed for open source software all that is
required for an open source package to provide release on a web site
is to send proper notification to the US export office (which we did)
but the export office does not respond to such queries (they only log it).

It's up to manufactures of devices and software that intend to sell
their devices over-seas to go through proper paperwork for the device
that includes open source software.  IE, nothing we could give you
would satisfy your own requirements.  I strongly suggest you consult
with an export control lawyer as this community is not a legal service
that you can count on.

I am not aware that anything has changed since then.
