What's all that about beta software (a BETA exemption in one revision)?
It seems to say you can export beta cryptographic software so long as it
goes dead at the end of the beta period. But some software is excluded
because of something about "EI", and I couldn't find the definition of EI.
By that standard, the Netscape method is a route to open exports.
Obviously I got lost in the legaleze.
