Um... ftp.kernel.org is inside the USA, just outside of Santa Clara, CA.
But, in any case, the linux kernel is cerianly freely exportable, covered by
neither ITAR, nor EAR, since it contains no encription routines. Libc is
not covered by ITAR, and I don't think it is covered by EAR, since it uses a
64 bit key, which is legal for export.
