Yes, he mentions frequently that he's concerned about ITAR. Under a strict reading of the Munitions list and ITAR regulations, rocket guidance software is a Category IV Munition and can't be exported. Unfortunately (as we learned from the crypto wars of the 1990s, when strong encryption was also a Munition), the US government takes quite a strict view towards the consideration of online-available source code as "export."
