It would not matter if Fedora was a part of Red Hat or not.. Its more whether Fedora is based inside of the United States or not. Any organization inside of the United States is bound by the same laws (whether or not they follow them.)

You seem right again ;-). I've checked the license agreement of Firefox-3 (the license window that appears after the first use) and it has the same set of restrictions. It's the first time I notice such restriction.
One has to wonder if this applies to the source code or to the pre-compiled binaries only.

The laws cover both source code in electronic format and binaries. If you can find it, read up on the history of the original internation PGP implementations. Basically, since paper-printed are not covered under this law as they are considered 'freedom of the press'... the source code was published and brought to various countries where it was hand typed back in.
