My source: "Letter to the US Department of Commerce on Exporting Linux to Iraq" http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7318 FreeBSD like Linux should fall into the same category for exporting publically available software that contains some security features that use encryption. Your best bet is to ask the Toshiba lawyers: "I'm exporting publically available software that contains some security features that use encryption, what's the ECCN? It should be the same as Linux." Failing that, your next best bet is to e-mail the US Department of Commerce for a definitive answer. >From what I can understand, they are the people who deal with ECCNs. HTH. Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer or involved in the export of software. I'm just going on what I've read. Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.esperance-linux.co.uk/misc/contact.html
