I think it's because crypt.c contains des routines that can be used for things
other than user authentication (encrypt(), des_cipher()).  Having full source
code for the system available makes it hard to seperate the crypt stuff into an
exportable portion (password encryption) and a non-exportable portion (the
rest).
