The fog may lift after you read this page:

Not much. We're just saying that our software is using
encryption and we're allowed to export it, right?
Not even that much. We're saying our software is using **and including
in our distribution** other software that was (for whatever reason)
classified as 5D002. In our case, that is ActiveMQ. ActiveMQ, in turn
is classified as such because of things it includes in its distribution
which were classified as 5D002. etc.
No *use* of encryption is implied....
Are
there really any countries where "importing" such sw is
illegal? wassenaar.org doesn't really help (me). So
no, still pretty foggy.
I haven't looked into this...
Anyway, it really doesn't matter. AIUI, the JVM is also
ECCN 5D002 classified, so none of our sw runs without
some such code.
True, but we have not been (previously) including these things in our
distributions - but rather expecting the user to obtain them elsewhere.
