We are already under the US law when it comes to distribution of
software as our binaries (like Windows) which contains encryption
software for export since we potentially allow countries which the US
have an embargo with, such as Iran (or more recently Venezuela). If I
remember correctly its partly the reason why PHP is registered as an
entity in the US to comply with EAR. How this is dealt with under the
hood of the project and all of  that I have no idea, but even as it
is, we are not currently operating in a noman's land and already live
with restrictions imposed by the governments of the world.
