I know that for US corporations that they have to go through an export
review to the State Department.. mainly from the openssl library you might
link to. How it affects individuals or projects I have no idea and would
suspect any email advise would be as good as tossing a coin.
How it affects you really requires a lawyer to walk you through what it
could be. I would contact someone like the Software Freedom Conservancy to
better get an idea of where to get that advise.
