I still find this unclear, how can all the other companies
ship openssl but we (in sweden) cannot.
There are lots of companies that ship products (open on the 
internet to download) that contain openssl. 
Companies from many contries, (even France). All the linux distros,
all the browser manufacturers.

Unclear.

I still think that the laws in Europe now are so relaxed so that
its ok to ship products with openssl. That is *think*, I definitely
don't know.
