Just to bring in another point: A group of people I'm part of just initiated contact with the Norwegian Foreign Ministry (export division) and got the new norwegian rules. They have a very interesting twist: They disallow export of anything with stronger than 56-bit crypto, but have a deliberate exception for 'software for general consumption', with a definition of 'software for general consumption' that seem to only fit Open Source (normal commercial software does _not_ fit it).
