If it contains encryption, I will need to know if your company has submitted at least a one-time review to the USG for their review, or have already rec'd ENC approval?

It also contains no bayonets or muzzle-loading (black powder) firearms, nor any restraint devices, including thumbcuffs, leg irons, shackles, and handcuffs (although, even if it contained any of the latter, you wouldn't need a license to export them from the US to Canada, at least). If somebody else wants to look at, say, "Category 4 - Computers", "Category 5 (Part 1) - Telecommunications", or "Category 5 (Part 2)" - Information Security", go ahead. However, perhaps supplement 2: http://w3.access.gpo.gov/bis/ear/pdf/774_sup2.pdf could be argued to apply, even though Ethereal isn't "Sold from stock at retail selling points, with-out restriction, by means of: 1. Over the counter transactions; 2. Mail order transactions; or 3. Telephone call transactions", at least not from the Ethereal Web site (unless downloading stuff for free counts), even though it arguably is "Designed for installation by the user without further substantial support by the supplier" (given that few of us have time to provide "substantial support" to the extent they probably mean), although that doesn't apply to stuff controlled by Category 5 - part 2, and maybe some of the WEP decryption, etc. puts it into that category.
