   I propose that the solution is this:

   1. *BSD should have a common source and object tree without encryption.  
      386bsd 0.1 did this.

   2. There should be a US encryption package.  This should be distributed
      only within the US.

   3. There should be a non-US encryption package.  This should be distributed
      only outside the US.

There is no need for 2, people in the US can use a foreign encryption
package, you just can't re-export it _from the US_.
