Rather than integrating the two into a huge project, it will be better to setup/arrive at some common standards for sharing resources/information. May be this is already being done ?
Such software based controls will not work. Most of the countries on which such restrictions are put (like India, Pakistan etc.) are rich in people who are all the time involved in developing such software. I remember that software was never an issue. No one there will try to get software from US for which silly restrictions are applied. More than this often such software is considered too expensive, when similar stuff can be developed inhouse with the persons available at a fraction of the cost. This is the way it is usually done in countries like India.

Partly true. But a lot of Linux developers out there may not have access to "other" UNIX platforms ...
