If this cover's things like SSL Do we need to quit distributing python?

From the report of the monthly GNU Advisory Committee (GAC) meeting
that took place on Thursday - Feb. 4th:

 - Brian: techno-legal question, what about crypto packages that in the
   past we could not release from the US?

 - Karl: I recall discussing this with Werner K, rms, brett, thought
   the conclusion was that US distribution was ok now.  Will research
   and confirm/deny.  [In later communications, it was confirmed by rms
   that US distribution of cryptographic software is indeed ok now.]
