While discussing the PSF contrib docs with Martin, we came across a possible violation of the US export regulations: According to the BXA web-site, all crypto code with more than 56 bit keys, has to be regsitered with the BXA. rotor uses 80 bit keys.

I believe this restriction was eased. Exemptions are listed here: http://www.bxa.doc.gov/Encryption/lechart1.html

For open source software:

License Exception: TSU-740.13 Country Scope: Global, may not knowingly export to the T-7 Reporting Requirements: No Restrictions: - Notification by time of export - Considered "publicly available"
