Essentially the proposal would require anyone selling intrusion detection systems or exploits to foreign buyers to provide the source code to the government first.
It sounds like this would not cover free software such as Metasploit and Snort, but would cover non-public exploits or rules.
Obviously this isn't enforceable on against non-commercial actors, but would force Wassenaar country based companies to give their proprietary security tools to their governments for free if they want to sell them outside their borders.
