So, this seems to be the common wisdom.  But it's not clear to me that the
laws really are OK.  As I understand it, the laws haven't changed, but the
policy has, and it could change back at any moment.

In any case, you should send some mail to exports at crypto.com to announce
the availability of your source code.

Who gets in trouble?  If you're not an American citizen, it seems like it
should be SourceForge, in which case they're already at risk.

It would be good to have an international place to put amkCrypto.
