It is there, no matter being additive or not:
6. Compliance with Laws; Non-Infringement. Recipient shall comply with all
applicable laws and regulations in connection with use and distribution of
the Subject Software, including but not limited to, all export and import
control laws and regulations of the U.S. government and other countries.
Having that said, I believe US export and import control laws are not even
applicable in some jurisdictions, but could be enforced epspecially if
bipartite agreements exist between the involved jurisdictions.
