Yes. The README file (post Ant 1.6.5) reads now: ,---- | This distribution includes cryptographic software. The country in | which you currently reside may have restrictions on the import, | possession, use, and/or re-export to another country, of | encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption software, please | check your country's laws, regulations and policies concerning the | import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption software, to | see if this is permitted. See <http://www.wassenaar.org/> for more | information. | | The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and | Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity | Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security | software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric | algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation | distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception | ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS | Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object | code and source code. | | The following provides more details on the included cryptographic | software: | | For the SSH family of tasks (<sshexec> and <scp>) Ant requires the | JSch <http://www.jcraft.com/jsch/index.html> library as well as the | Java Cryptography extensions | <http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/security/>. Ant does not | include these libraries itself, but is designed to use them. `---- So if you remove the code that interfaces with JSch (which should all be in ant-jsch.jar in the binary distribution, there is nothing left that was designed for use with cryptographic libraries.
