Forking against the license wouldn't solve the problem of not being included in distributions though. No sane distribution would include the fork.

Again, look at how distros handled DeCSS back when that was an issue. There were just "unofficial" 3rd party repos hosted in places that didn't care about US crypto laws.

Crypto laws aren't copyright. Protesting an unjust law via civil disobedience is entirely different from hypocritically breaking a law you yourself rely on just because you wanna.
