Additionally the Wassenaar Agreement itself has no direct consequence for - exporting cryptography software. What is actually allowed or forbidden to - be exported from the countries has still to be defined in the local laws - of each country. And at least according to official press releases from - the German BMWi (see here) and the - Switzerland Bawi (see here) there - will be no forthcoming export restriction for free cryptography software - for their countries. Remember that mod_ssl is created in Germany and - distributed from Switzerland.
-So, mod_ssl and OpenSSL are not affected by the Wassenaar Agreement.
