 Why  the f would you need an encryption license though 
 Cause math is le dangerous. Obviously. 
 It's standard. Even in the US to put an app in the app store you need to answer questions about encryption export 
 Sure, but if you don’t follow the app stores guidelines, do you go to jail for years? 
 They just reject your submission 
 "How is the cryptology license part unhinged? They were supposed to have a license and didn't have one, so it's illegal."

It's one thing to not folow the guidelines and not be approved, it's another to not follow those guidelines (?) and get jail time. It does feel unhinged.
