US proposes tighter export rules for computer security tools
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/security/3612612/us-proposes-tighter-export-rules-for-computer-security-tools/
The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is
proposing requiring a license in order to export certain cybersecurity
tools used for penetrating systems and analyzing network
communications. If asked by the BIS, those applying for a license
"must include a copy of the sections of source code and other software
(e.g., libraries and header files) that implement or invoke the
controlled cybersecurity functionality."
