Ms Kays,

As GIMP is a free software licensed for use under the Gnu General Public License (http://www.gimp.org/about/COPYING).

This software is not under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Commerce as far as we are aware, as such we don't have an ECCN number to refer you to.

Hi,

Hi , Grace,

My name is Grace Kays and I work in Trade Compliance at Toyota Motor

Engineering and Manufacturing North America.

My name is Joel and I am not connected in any way with the gimp developers or other support members of the community, except as a user.

What is the export commodities classification number (ECCN) for Gimp

Photo Editor?

You might find this thread on a gimp support web forum helpful:

http://www.gimpusers.com/forums/gimp-user/16752-export-control-classification-number-eccn

And have you read the information available at

http://gimp.org ?

I think you will particularly want to read the FAQs and certain parts of the developer's wiki.

But you might ask your legal team and your engineering team to talk to each other about whether it's really necessary to ask such questions. (Are you planning on exporting it or importing it?)

Note that this suggestion does not constitute legal advice. As is suggested in that forum thread, you might contact the free software foundation. I think they have lawyers who can tell your lawyers more about how the gimp should be treated relative to export regulations for the USA.

Thank you,
