Well your guarantee would be wrong because your post is based on old information.

Under Clinton, the rules were relaxed. Bush did absolutely nothing to reverse that, and neither has Obama. You have to get an export license for sure, but except for certain classes of products (e.g. products that perform cryptanalysis) such licenses are relatively easy to get, and once obtained, exporters are allowed to "self certify" that minor updates to software products are in compliance with the scope of the original license. I've obtained many export licenses for products with encryption.

I've worked for two companies that legally export products with strong encryption, and I can guarantee you that my software did not and does not have a backdoor. I dealt with the NSA many times, and at no time was I asked to put a backdoor in, nor would I have agreed to do so (plan B would be to ship two versions of the product, one for the domestic market, and one for everywhere else, sans encryption).

Besides which most of the products being discussed in this thread are Open Source, so secret backdoors would be impossible.
