google 'encryption "export restrictions" 2008' (past month)

(Mostly European companies, I understand)
The first link has a link to the Federal Register to 'see the word of the law':

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 193 / Friday, October 3, 2008 / Rules and
Regulations Pages 57495 through 57512
The PDF file is 124 KB.
17 pages plus a couple of column inches on the 18th page, too long to copy
here.
