That doesn't pass the common sense test, but it's still true.

I seem to remember there being an exemption for software that meets certain
conditions of being widely available, free, and in source code form. In
fact, the very existence and non-U.S. origin of GNUPG had something to do
with that provision being included in the regulations.

Still, if you're a business, I'd consult a lawyer. It might be easier to
provide an easy download mechanism in your product.
