I've been reading a bit more (hard not to - it's on every news service).

The decision seems to come down to: source code is free speech.
This is music to my ears!

The decision doesn't affect binaries as far as I can tell. Wouldn't
it be amusing if in the near future the only way to export software
with strong security and privacy features from the U.S. was to ship
the source code?
