RE: openssl deperately needs some intro docs

Yet again.  Sigh.

The current regulations prohibit US persons from providing technical
assistance to anything that would be export-controlled if it were inside the
US.  Pretty obviously, this would include diff's and documentation.

Another potential liability is that any of the OpenSSL core team comes into
the United States, they could perhaps be arrested for violating that law.
You might think it's stupid, but this comes from a discussion I had with
Cindy Cohn (?), one of Dan Bernstein's lawyers. If you don't know who he is,
go see http://www.eff.org.

There is a draft for new regulations that appear to ease things, but they
are only in draft stage. I posted the URL for those an hour or two ago.
