Isn't this already the case right now that the regulations are different? Possibly the *outcome*, for the case of PyCrypto at least, it similar enough, but from what I remember the actual rules are quite different.
It seems to me a bit like taking a BSD-licensed project and deciding to accept GPL-licensed contributions. The result is still open source but it does makea difference.
In this case, it seems to me you're changing PyCrypto from a project that is NOT "subject to the EAL" (the U.S. Export regulations) to one that is. Are you sure you want to do that?
