They were never "laws" -- they were regulations imposed
by the Commerce Department. And they haven't been
"dropped" -- though it is CLAIMED that they may
be loosened.

Worse still for FreeBSD and kin, the Commerce Department
says it plans to loosen the regulations only for closed 
source products. See:

This is a MUST READ for anyone who cares about crypto.
