The library includes the functions encrypt(3) and des_encrypt(3).  In the
US-Only version of the library each of these functions accepts a flag
value of 1 to indicate de-cryption, the export version ignores the flag,
decryption is disabled.

I should have said only US and Canadian customers can purchase the uncrippled
