That's probably because noone on -devel is an expert on legal issues.
However, given that PGP was exported this way, and that other crypto source
code (e.g. in Bruce Schneier 's "Applied Cryptography" book) has been
exported from the US on paper, and that the export limitations on crypto
code are about code "in computer readable form", the chances of getting into
legal troubles as a result of exporting crypto code through printouts are
fairly low.
