From the list archives and our BXA notification template, it looks
like our ECCN is 5D002:
As hinted by
http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2007/08/msg00073.html
I suspect debian as a whole exceeds the limits of 5D002 according to
http://www.access.gpo.gov/bis/ear/ear_data.html#ccl
so the ECCN would be 4D003, but I've not seen official confirmation
either way.
My concern is that 4D003 does not have the EI reason for control that former
"Munitions" cryptographic software (5D002) does. It seems really strange to
me that by including sufficient other software, the EI export control reason
should just magically disappear. That sounds like it would be at best a
major loophole, and at worst such a large loophole as to make the whole
expert control system fail.
