> OpenBSD developers used to have development sprints and code check ins in Canada to work around US crypto laws.

Yip, I brought OpenBSD CD set back in that era (2.4 release!) and asked in the order if it included the crypto lib's and got a hand written note with shipment saying exactly why they ship from Canada and no worries. Believe it was Theo who wrote that as well. This was mid/late 90's era.

Maybe I should dig that out and pop into a museum of some sorts, as a bit of history and unique.
