> The code was hard to maintain and hard to contribute to, especially for developers in the US due to crypto export issues. That's not really true: per https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/policy-guidance/encryption..., publicly available software (which includes free software) just requires a notification under exception TSU. All you have to do, per https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/15/740.13, is send an email to crypt@bis.doc.gov and to enc@nsa.gov with the location of the source code. As long as you don't change the location, you never have to worry about it again. The regulation even notes that simply providing source code on a public website does not constitute export to a prohibited country. It's really not a big deal.
