Would this new French law apply to an American (or other foreigner) who
travels to France for business or on a vacation if this person has >published exploit code on a Web site?

Will it apply to any web site with exploit code/tools accessible from France?  In November 2000 a French court ruled 
that Yahoo must block French users from accessing sales of Nazi memorabilia.  Yahoo was subject to fines of 100,000 
francs (US$12,853) per day if it didn't block French users.
