(2) Source code released under this provision remains of U.S. origin
even when used or commingled with software or products of any origin,
and any encryption product developed with source code released under
this provision is subject to the EAR (see Section 740.17).
Looks like they are reinventing the GPL, except to infect other sources.
(4)(i) for encryption source code (including published source code
which is subject to proprietary commercial agreements or other
restriction), any new product developed with this source code must be
classified by BXA (see paragraph (e) of this section) prior to
re-export.
A little slap in the face to PGP -- and may make GPG code classifiable.
