You have to get an export permission for each customer for each release of the product. We did this once for a big enterprise customer who paid for all the paperwork, which included several sessions of a hired lawyer in Ottawa with the government. It was quite time consuming and expensive. If that same customer wants a new release then we have to apply for another permit. We know about the exemption of open source software, but there are several problems with that too. It is kind of pointless turning this into a long discussion though: Once a company has hired a lawyer who said: "There are legal issues", there is no way some discussion on a mailing list will convince company management that there is no problem. :) We are continuing to evaluate this issue, but it is unfortunately much more complex and illogical than one would think.
