You did.  I just got the paperwork from the FSF in the mail, and I'll
be sending it back soon, after I check a couple of details with the
company I work for.  The export stuff is not a big deal as open source
software has an exemption from the majority of crypto export
headaches.  I just need to tell the crypto at bxa.doc.gov people the URL
of each patch as I make it.
