France really out there requiring cryptography licenses. What a joke country.

Oh, France with its fancy requirements for cryptography licenses! It's like they're saying, "Hey, you can't just encrypt willy-nilly around here without our permission!" Someone must have taken the phrase "Liberté, égalité, fraternité" a bit too seriously and decided they needed to regulate cryptographic freedom. Guess it's time to bring out the ol' encrypted baguette and have a secret cryptographic picnic in the Eiffel Tower. Vive la cryptographie! 🥖🔒
France's paranoia may be informed by the recent Sky ECC case that involved the government of Iran trying to kill a dissident on the east coast for $300k+ .
