RE: ECCN for AutoConf

Hi Eric,

Thank you for your response. Do you have a classification or trade compliance group I can reach out to? I know other redhat products contain crypto and are export controlled. so I assume someone at your company (or a consultant perhaps) classified the software at some point. Even open source / free software can be export controlled.

Any assistance in getting me to the appropriate person or group at your company would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

~Kim

Sorry, but you're out of luck - no one here knows of an ECCN associated with Autoconf.

I'm not a lawyer, but a quick google search for "open source eccn" leads me to believe that since Autoconf is freely available and does not deal with software encryption, it is exempt from needing an ECCN.  But you may have better luck by paying a third party to actually validate that for you (rather than relying on free and potentially incorrect advice); companies like Red Hat specialize in providing distributions of software that includes Autoconf in a manner that complies with export regulations, and may have a better answer for what they use in their distribution.
