ITAR - opensource GPS.

Previously posted to sci.geo.satellite-nav - however I think more people
may know of ITAR here.

I'm interested in a project to make an open source phone - specifically,
the neo1973, running OpenMoko - which is a sort of linux.

This has GPS hardware, which is currently using a program - without
source - supplied by the vendor.

Presumably this implements the 1000kt/60000ft limits.

My question is severalfold.

I assume the ITAR regulations are still in place.

Are they export only, or can devices be imported. (to the US)

Do the regulations tend to be followed by other countries?

Does anyone have a view on whether supplying a open source program that
took the output from a correlator chip, computed a position (with limits) and
then output it, would make the device infringe ITAR?

It could be relatively easily changed to not limit the position output -
but it would not come by default in that state.
