This is the relevant bit about how we no longer need to worry about
reporting cryptography code. Thus, we're clear to make a commons-codec
release as soon as I can find some release instructions.

Subject: Significant change to US Export Controls Guide
To: <legal-disc...@apache.org>
There was a modification to the US regulations earlier this year.
And now there's actually a formal guidance from the Linux Foundation
to their projects:
https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/understanding-us-export-controls-and-open-source-projects-2021-update/
The change now allows for projects that are publically available
and using standard cryptography to be exempt completely.
I believe this will greatly simplify our handling of it, but I wanted
to run it by all of you to confirm (and also give a heads-up).
Thanks,
Roman.
