There seem to be quite a few assumptions that you know what they're
talking about.  It makes slightly more sense when you look at §740.13
and §772.1 in the linked PDF, but not much.

I did find a statement on the AESCrypt home page where the BXA states
that software built with OSS encryption components still has to be
submitted to them:

    http://aescrypt.sourceforge.net/

I also thought that since there's no restrictions on the export of
open source software, we're better off letting them know when we
didn't have to, than not letting them know when we should have.
