I am asked about 3x a year about ECCN and PostgreSQL.
Here's the blurb I've been sending to people about it:
""" Sun acquired an ECCN for PostgreSQL version 8.3 (current released version of PostgreSQL is 9.3) for shipping it with Solaris, I believe. However, this does not belong to the project as a whole.
If you wish to apply for an export control number yourself, PostgreSQL contains MD5 and blowfish encryption in add-on libraries which are optional. See pgcrypto for details: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/pgcrypto.html Beyond filing the paperwork, developers involved did not recall any special issues with getting a control number for 8.3.
Remember that PostgreSQL is not, technically, a US product. So if you are not a US company yourself, you don't need to worry about export control. """
Could we add a page addressing this? I am happy to wordsmith this a bit more to make it more appropriate for a web page.
