Sorry - that is simply not true - As an effect of the laws the fact that i knowingly export non-us to "t7" countries now has no effect. Germany has no laws on this. If we have the new crypt-in-main my export might fall back to the original uploader of the package as he/she/it is knowingly multi-step exporting packages to t7 countries. How would we handle a mirror within Lybia which is set up without our permission - It might be a multi-step mirror over some internal company mirror which we might not be able to block - How would we than protect debian developers against beeing prosecuted ? I dont like the fact that i need to put limitations on my ftp/web server for not beeing reachable from those t7 countries. There might be some deciding to stop mirroring debian instead punishing certain parts of the world which came to the us govt minds in the ages of cold war.
