Seems fairly useless to me, for a few dollars I can sample the L1 frequency with a dumb device which has no idea of speed or altitude, and do the calcs with FOSS which is in the wild.
Basically a rule which inconveniences the honest and has zero impact on the bad dudes, whoever they are
It's important to note that this is in relation to real time position estimation. You can collect the signal measurements and process offline later for telemetry reconstruction.
Fun fact 1: Switzerland (a major provider of GPS chips via u-blox) never signed or ratified CoCom. But they still followed it mostly, for fear of retaliation. They even had an allowance of "sell list 1 goods for up to 35 million Schweizer Franken" that they never reached, they only went up to 8 million Schweizer Franken. They however are a member of Wassenaar.
Fun fact 2: Russia is a member of Wassenaar. But I guess they now give a shit on it and give to North-Korea whatever NK wants, for all of these nice North Korean cannon fodder soldiers.
