Hello,

As part of a professional project, we need the following information.

What is the ECCN (CECC) of MediaWiki?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

What is ECCN (CECC) in the first place?

@Soif2020 What is "ECCN (CECC)", and what makes you think that MediaWiki should or would have "a ECCN (CECC)"?

Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) : A key in determining whether an export license is needed from the Department of Commerce is finding out if the item you intend to export has a specific Export Control Classification Number (ECCN). ECCNs are five character alpha-numeric designations used on the Commerce Control List (CCL) to identify dual-use items for export control purposes.  An ECCN categorizes items based on the nature of the product, i.e. type of commodity, software, or technology and its respective technical parameters.

Does MediaWiki have an ECCN?

@Soif2020 That makes me curious how you intend to "export" MediaWiki.

I don't think an ECCN makes sense for any freely-available software. Could an ECCN designate that there are no export controls?

soif2020: i would strongly suggest you consult with a lawyer if you're concerned about this sort of thing.

Ianal. Afaik mediawiki does not have an eccn. However it does use encryption with keys longer than 56 bits in some spots, so probably the notification requirements for open source software apply https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/policy-guidance/encryption/1-encryption-items-not-subject-to-the-ear - but i am not a lawyer and you should talk to a lawyer about what you need to do.
