What is an ECCN? 
ECCN stands for Export Control Classification
Number; see:
<pre>
 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_Control_Classification_Number">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_Control_Classification_Number</a>
</pre>
These numbers are assigned through the US Export Administration Regulations
(<a href="http://www.bis.doc.gov/policiesandregulations/#ear">EAR</a>), part of
the US Bureau of Industry and Security
(<a href="http://www.bis.doc.gov/">BIS</a>), which is a branch of the US
Department of Commerce. The EAR describe the export rules and restrictions on
a wide range of commodities, technologies, and software. This document is no
substitute for understanding those regulations; the ProFTPD Project cannot
anticipate how they might apply to third party distributions or for specific
export decisions made by those parties. End-user, end-use and country of
ultimate destination may affect export licensing requirements.

ProFTPD ECCN 
According to the
<a href="http://www.bis.doc.gov/encryption/question2.htm">current regulations
and descriptions</a>, the ProFTPD Project software products fall into the
category of "publicly available" encryption software and source code, and
are thus classified as ECCN 5D002.

Products classified as ECCN 5D002 are exported by the ProFTPD Project under
the License Exception TSU in EAR 740.13(e), which applies to software
containing or designed for use with encryption software that is publicly
available as open source. License exception TSU further provides that:
<blockquote>
 Posting encryption source code and corresponding object code on the Internet
 (e.g., FTP or World Wide Web site) where it may be downloaded by anyone
 neither establishes "knowledge" of a prohibited export or reexport for
 purposes of this paragraph, nor triggers any "red flags" necessitating the
 affirmative duty to inquire...
</blockquote>
Note that exporters other than the ProFTPD Project within the US may or may not
be eligible for exception TSU, and it is each specific exporter's
responsibility to understand and comply with all export regulations applicable
within their jurisdiction.

Cryptographic Components 
The ProFTPD Project source code distributions include cryptographic software.
The country in which you currently reside may have restrictions on the import,
possession, use, and/or re-export to another country, of encryption software.
BEFORE using any encryption software, please check your country's laws,
regulations and policies concerning the import, possession, or use, and
re-export of encryption software, to see if this is permitted. See
<a href="http://www.wassenaar.org/">http://www.wassenaar.org/</a> for more
information.

The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security
(BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity Control Number (ECCN)
5D002, which includes information security software using or performing
cryptographic functions with asymmetric algorithms. The form and manner of this
ProFTPD Project distribution makes it eligible for export under the License
Exception ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS
Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13e) for source code.

The following lists the modules, included in the source distributions,
which explicitly include/use cryptographic code:
<ul>
 <li><a href="../contrib/mod_sftp.html"><code>mod_sftp</code></a>
 <li><a href="../contrib/mod_sql_passwd.html"><code>mod_sql_passwd</code></a>
 <li><a href="../contrib/mod_tls.html"><code>mod_tls</code></a>
</ul>

which effectively removes ECCN 5D002 from the EAR, effective January 7,
2011.

A similar question came up for Mozilla; this blog post (now a bit dated)
