I have a small open source project and I am about to add some encryption to it. I am wondering if this will restrict where developers can contribute from. If so where are these laws so stringent? Is there a reliable up to date standard available on the web in regards to this matter? Should I care about recruiting programmers from all over the world?

OpenSSL is a software library for applications that secure communications over computer networks against eavesdropping or need to identify the party at the other end. It is widely used by Internet servers, including the majority of HTTPS websites.
OpenSSL is an open-source command line tool that is commonly used to generate private keys, create CSRs, install your SSL/TLS certificate, and identify certificate information.
OpenSSL is a general purpose cryptography library that provides an open source implementation of the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols.
Take a look at the Crypto Law Survey. It looks up-to-date; whether it's reliable, you should ask your lawyer. Several countries (e.g. Israel) have laws that require a license to operate cryptographic software.
I would leave it to the contributors to make sure they comply with their local laws. If you get complaints that people would like to contribute but can't because of the local law, study the specific case, then then search for a specific solution.
