[Cryptography] Security clearances and FOSS encryption?

[Bill Cox]

I am working on the CipherShed open-source fork of TrueCrypt.  I believe
one of our contributors has a US security clearance of some sort.  I have
no problem with this, but:

Do US security clearances in any way restrict a person's involvement in
FOSS encryption projects like CipherShed?  In the US, we only recently
gained the right to contribute to FOSS encryption projects with only a
reporting requirement.  The government surely could restrict those rights
with a security clearance, but having never had one, I have no idea.  Is
there anything I should know about people with security clearances who
contribute to CipherShed?

I would be quite the hypocrite to say people with US security clearances
are not welcome to contribute.  A company I founded did US military
sub-contracting after all.  I would just feel better knowing that a
security clearance in no way impacts how or if a person can participate.

Thanks,
Bill
