    Note to this paragraph: Neither review and classification nor
reexport licensing requirements are required under this section for
foreign finished products using U.S.-origin source code, toolkits

I know very little about US law, but I think it is pretty obvious that
the US government can change the regulations for products that are
"subject to the EAR".
