Huh?  I understand that the export laws prevent one from exporting crypto
outside the USA or Canada.  This doesn't prevent a commercial NFS product
with crypto, though.  Basically, NFS should have all the code to support
crypto.  The encryption/decryption/authentication is in modules (objects)
or user exits.  However you want to word this.

This allows one product to go out worldwide.  You then sell the user exits
in the USA/Canada.  Another company or a non-US/Canada division writes and
sells the international user exits.
