PostgreSQL classification

From

Hi all

A German company wants (maybe) migrate to PostgreSQL and asked:

- is PostgreSQL classified? Does it have a ECCN (for example 5D002,
  5D992, etc.)??
- is PostgreSQL considered as EAR99 product
- are there any export restrictions for PostgreSQL?


Thanks in advance
Conni

Why would a German company care about U.S. export classifications?

They e-mailed me as well.    I told them that
a) I had no reason to believe that PostgreSQL was considered a "US Product",
and
b) that they needed to talk to an attorney.
