Something similar was done on SRP4 and SRP5 (
http://spacegrant.alaska.edu/content/srp5), they had a radio on-board
collect the raw GPS data, which was then sent via telemetry to the ground.
Then it was processed on the ground to determine the rocket's position. I
can't remember how effective it was, as they were tracking the rocket with
Radar as well. But I think it did work.
No CoCom issues as long as the rocket itself doesn't know it's position
through the GPS.

Currently he has a RTL-SDR with improved TXCO recording raw GPS data on an
intel compute stick and then turning the raw data recording into position
data.
This is a box of parts <$200 that should be able to record raw GPS with no
ITAR or CoCom limits for after the fact flight verification. I hope to fly
this experiment next week end, when it all works it will be public and open.
