The actual export exemption is broad enough that it includes everything falling under the DFSG, as well as some software that we consider non-free. However, I don't know that ftpmasters are going to want to deal with hand-approving licenses for crypto in non-free any more than they have wanted to make non-US/non-free a high priority to date. I tend to agree that non-US is not a high priority, giving the small number of packages that qualify for inclusion there anymore. It would be nice to have it working again, but I don't think its absence justifies holding up the release of sarge at this point. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
