Question about Export Control of Epiphany

[mizoguchi-tetsuo nst hitachi-hitec com]

Dear Sir or Maddam

I am Tetsuo Mizoguchi of Japan.

I would like to know about export control of Epiphany(the latest version).
Is Epiphany the subject of the EAR(Export Administration Regulations),
under which export of US products is controlled, even export from coutries
other than the USA.

In this sense, I think Epiphany is not the subjet of EAR, because it is
developed outside the USA, distrbuted from outside the USA, and US
technologies are not used.
Is this right?

Whatever the origin, Epiphanyis an open soursce program, and basically,
it is not subject of EAR. However, if it has an encryption function, it may
be
controlled under EAR.
In this sense, does Epiphany have an encryption function?

I would appreciate it if you would teach me.

Yours sincerely
