That would let you export the code, since it doesn't provide any encryption functions itself, and international people could use the international DES library (for other encryption algorithms, pick a freely available implmenetation such as the one from openssl). I'm not sure what functionality this provides above something like SSLtelnet (in ports) or ssh, though. Probably much easier for folks to just use those.
