Our best answers are easily found from http://lists.debian.org/search.html "First of all, I am not a laywer. So the following is not legal advice, but only what i know. I'm not aware of any ECCN that would cover an operating system as a whole. However, parts of Debian may be covered under ECCN 5D002. However, those parts fall under the TSU licence exception, so no licence is required for that component. I'm not sure of any other applicable ECCN. Also note that the ECCN of a GNU/Linux distribution can vary depending on what components of it are exported. (Your GSM gateway presumably does not use every component of Debian GNU/Linux). Your safest bet would be to submit a classification request for the entire system to BIS, as described in the answer to question 3 at http://www.bis.doc.gov/Licensing/Do_I_NeedAnECCN.html " Above text from Joe Smith in Message-id: <fb1p2d$nj...@sea.gmane.org> I thought debian is probably Operating system software, development tools & compilers - 4D003.a but I do not know whether anyone has exported it under that code. Also, like Joe, I'm not a legal advisor, or any sort of official. Please let us know if you get an official classification on that, so we can add it to our web site.
