I just saw the following in sci.crypt:

   I am developing a freely distributable authentication package for UNIX
   environment. I have now finished my DES routines. DES package is
   available at kampi.hut.fi (128.214.3.9) by anonymous ftp. You can use
   the package for non-commercial purposes. If you want to use the
   package commercially, please contact me.

   The package is in C, and you should use GNU C-compiler to compile it,
   as it contains no register declarations. It should compile with normal
   C-compiler, too, but it won't be very fast. It is tested on VAX BSD
   4.3, and it has run on SUNs, too.

   DES distribution is in a compressed tar archive file des-dist.tar.Z
   under directory ~ftp/alo.

   If you have bug fixes or other comments, please send mail to me.

Now, suppose we could convince this person to provide the same
procedural interface to DES as we use with Kerberos.  Could we then
export a version of Kerberos without encryption, and tell the people
that get that version to get the DES routines from Finland?
