I received the following response from burt@rsa.com:

} Export law requires that we submit a shipping declaration whenever we
} send RSAREF to Canada. We can do this for email distribution, but not
} for anonymous FTP, because we don't know who took the software.
} Perhaps we could request that Canadians who take RSAREF via anonymous
} FTP send email saying so, but I'm not sure yet that this is good
} enough. (Although it's probably no worse than saying "don't take
} it if you're not in the U.S. or Canada.")
} 
} -- Burt

Oh well. I don't really see how RSADSI could get around this easily.
