I get asked that a lot. The short answer is that OpenSSL is not a U.S.
product.
I have a standard blurb I send in response to such queries:
http://www.openssl.com/export/README.blurb
As an American company or individual you do need to take the export
regulations (both EAR and ITAR) seriously, silly as they may seem. I
wasn't paying attention a few years ago while consulting for the U.S.
DoD (in a capacity separate from OpenSSL and the OpenSSL Software
Foundation), with the expensive outcome of finding myself a registered
international arms dealer (yes, U.S. export controls classify
cryptography as a "munition"). So do heed a qualified export lawyer and
not stuff you read on the Internet.
