US encryption-code export laws relaxed since January 7

This probably doesn't apply to Vim (whose FTP servers are in the
Netherlands) — or is it? (who contributed the Blowfish encryption code?
Wasn't it a US programmer? Or where did he copy the code from?) Anyway,
there are no more restrictions on exporting encryption code from the US
as part of an application that anyone can download without being traced.
See

for details.

Best regards,
Tony.
