Journal of National Security Law and Policy, Vol. 8, No. 2, 2015. Quite the argument made there that EAR and ITA do indeed deal with the making and distribution of cyber weaponry.

Thanks for the reference!

I think that article only emphasises that it is not subject to those regulations. Quote:

We conclude that, at a technical level, the distinction between weaponry and non-weapon malicious software lies in the payload component of the tool, which must be capable of creating destructive digital or physical effects

Meatpistol is only a framework, therefore there's no payload component.
