According to Pedro Giffuni:

They adopted it from the start, they are also distributing DES from Canada to avoid legal problems.

Distributing DES from Canada doesn't solve anything as they have the same restrictions as the US.

Not _quite_ so. It is legal to export crypto from USA to Canada, but this code is then ITAR "tainted" and cannot be re-exported. If the code is "untainted", (IE does not come from USA,) it is freely exportable.

Mark: in the document referred from www.openbsd.org, someone actually could export U.S. DES (11% US), and reported he could get a permit for distributing Kerberos V, based on the Public Domain license. It seems like US laws are a mess and don't apply completely to Canada. In any case bones (Kerberos without encription) can be exported freely from US. US restrictions are ridiculous and will fall some day (even pornography restrictions falled), but meanwhile Canada may be a twilight zone.
