Have you found yourself in an ITAR mess?

The length of the keys is usually the determining factor for EAR.  I'm not
an expert, but I'm guessing that is why they are concerned.

Subject: [sqlite] Lawyers, encryption, and RC4

Sorry to bother folks with this.

We're getting some pushback from our lawyers suggesting that SQLite's use of
RC4 even just to generate random numbers is, in their minds, encryption for
export purposes.  Now, this makes absolutely no sense to me, I can assure
you, and I am not finding anything online that would suggest that is a valid
position, but I'm wondering if this has come up before and if you have any
good ammunition for dealing with such an argument.

Thanks,

Eric
