Ho hum.
I just realized that I don't think none of us is 100% up-to-date on the US export laws related to cryptography (this is relevant as our server is hosted in the US).
Quick look-and-see around the net, and particularly Debian site makes it seem that these days it's crypto exports are allowed, but require a dead-tree notification to NSA and an email to notification to BXA ("Commerce Department's Bureau of Export Administration").
See:

Unless someone particularly feels like dealing with this I propose we set up a non-us server for software that may fall under such laws. Iirc waays-back someone (Henrik Motakef?) offered diskspace and bandwidth from a box located in Germany -- either that or I could finally take up on my word and get us another virtual server from Finland.
(Of course, anyone following this is free the pipe in and offer hosting if the have space and bandwitdt on a non-us box.)
Thoughts and opinions?

PS. Tåle, sorry for the delay this may cause. We originally talked about this when setting up Common-lisp.net, but the actuality hasn't arisen until now. You sort of caught us with our pants down. ;-)
