There is no arrangement that has been signed. This is about the US not
wanting to export cryptography from the US into certain countries. This
is a US-only thing. FPC is not affected by it, its not a US based
project so it will not be (and never was) exported from the US if you
simply host it outside the US. Removing valuable parts of the code only
to obey to some random nonsense regulations in foreign countries (US)
that do not apply anyways would be complete nonsense.
