Yeah, crypto usually has munitions export restrictions.  I'm fine with that, as
long as the license to the code is GPL.  And I can't tell what the license is
because you have to register to get it before you can see it.

If you, or someone can confirm that the snow3g and kasumi ssl libraries are open
source compatible (or better still if the license can be announced prior to
registration on the web site), then I'm fine with it, and am happy to test with
it, I just don't want to register without knowing that beforehand.
