John Gilmore used to be able to make a convincing case that export control
of CWAH was illegal.
(My personal opinion is that the rules were vague enough to let them do
what they wanted.) I have been told, directly and to my face, by
people from the NSA Export office explained what "CWAH" is, and that
"we don't allow that to be exported."
However, that's all the past. The current regulations are pretty
explicit. You can find them at
http://www.bxa.doc.gov/Regulations/encreg.pdf
which is
_Federal_Register_
Vol 61 #251
Monday Dec 30 1996
Page 68573
It contains the following text, found near the the top of the
third column:
This rule amends
the Export Administration Regulations
(EAR) by imposing national security and
foreign policy controls (''EI'' for
Encryption Items) on certain
information security systems and
equipment, cryptographic devices,
software and components specifically
---------------------------
designed or modified therefor, and
-----------------------------
related technology (''encryption items').
