This is just a thought we came up with today:
    
    It's legal to export an algorithm on DES, right?
    Isn't the source code an algorithm that describes it
    in a different form ? (And with no restrictions in export...)
    Because you have to translate (read compile) this into a
    machine readible form to make it run.

I know it sounds stupid, but is it really?
