Thank you so much for your well written and well thought out answer. If I'm understanding correctly, if the code is publicly available in source form, then it is a different situation then if it is sold as a product. As a result of this, you would be able to write whatever source code you wanted, and share it, but if you begin trying to sell it then you could be in legal danger. If through some nightmare scenario it did become illegal to write software without a backdoor, then much of the existing FLOSS software that is affected would get forked and development would get moved underground.
