You are wrong on one point: OpenSSL is *not* being developed in the
US, and never (as far as I know) has.  He same goes from it's
predecessor, SSLeay (that was developped in Australia).  If you look,
you will notice that all developers are currently from or in Germany,
UK and Sweden, at least as far as I can tell with whois.  If you look,
you will notice that www.openssl.org is actually a machine in
Switzerland.

US is far away from OpenSSL, and will probably remain that way for
some time, unless the US export law changes radically.
