Tangentially-related, it remains surprising that many U.S.-based developers I've spoken with fail to realize that they need to obtain an Export Control Classification (ECCN) from the US Dept of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) before publishing their apps in the app store or otherwise making them available on the net.
