Please note, that you can't stick this in the distro as your are 
suggesting and distribute it in countries with as yet untested laws but 
ones that non the less say you can't decrypt stuff without the 
"correctly licenced tool".
The countries that have this that I know of are the USA and Ireland, 
there are more.
They call it the DMCA, me I call it the Dominated by Multiple Corporate* 
Atrocities.

*It is my opinion corporations have a right to exist, we need them, but 
they do not have a right not one to rule my life. This is just like a 
two year old does not have the right to throw a tantrum in the middle of 
a shop. They need to be taught good citizenship and held accountable for 
same.
