Many European countries are still liberal WRT encryption software. 
So if you would prefer to keep mirrors in multiple places, there are 
several to choose from.  As far as I'm aware, the UK is suitable, as 
is Scandinavia, but please do your own research.

If you live in a restrictive country, probably your best option is to 
use a standard encryption library that is developed in a liberal 
country, and "weak-link" your software so that it can use it as an 
*optional* shared library, and instruct your users (or an independent 
third party who also lives in a liberal country) to install the 
additional library to get encryption support.

The other option is to get an export licence.  I don't know how easy 
that is, but it is probably easier if you use a standard library that 
has been previously approved, as Brian suggests.
