AFAIK, this is a problem for people from the United States, for the same
reason why exporting the software itself is a problem.
Of course, it would be a lot harder to detect and obstruct US citizens
ssh'ing to a machine in a free country to work on software than to harass
them for making the software publicly available on a server.

I'm very much in favor of that, although I'm not sure if it would be wise
for all people to sign crypto software with their key, as this might
incriminate them in the eyes of their local regim^H^H^H^H^Hgovernment.
