The bottom line is that enforcement is almost non-existent for this type
of software for just the reasons you mention (as well as others). But it
is still against the law to export it without the proper declarations
and has severe penalties which I will not take chances with. If you are
caught trying to export it to a restricted country you can expect to
spend some significant time behind bars and your life savings on
lawyers.
