The last time I looked into this, Canada had looser regulations than
the US; if software is freely redistributable, it's considered
equivalent to public domain, and therefore can be exported from Canada
without filling out any forms or doing anything special.

It would be OK to import the code, but the person/entity hosting it
inside the US could potentially run into trouble (though current US
regulations are quite loose for open source software, explicitly
mentioning it as an exception).
