Indeed.
If some code in open source project has been developed in the USA, then
we must keep a trace of where it is to be able to remove it later in
case the regulation in the US become more restrictive.
So it does not propagate in the meaning that the european code never
becomes unexportable, but in order to take advantage of that, we need to
be able to "clean" it and remove all the american code in it at the
moment we need to.
