Hello!

I am asked about 3x a year about ECCN and PostgreSQL.

Here's the blurb I've been sending to people about it:

"""
Sun acquired an ECCN for PostgreSQL version 8.3 (current released version
of PostgreSQL is 9.3) for shipping it with Solaris, I believe. However,
this does not belong to the project as a whole.

If you wish to apply for an export control number yourself, PostgreSQL
contains MD5 and blowfish encryption in add-on libraries which are
optional. See pgcrypto for
details:http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/pgcrypto.html
Beyond
filing the paperwork, developers involved did not recall any special issues
with getting a control number for 8.3.

Remember that PostgreSQL is not, technically, a US product. So if you are
not a US company yourself, you don't need to worry about export control.
"""

Could we add a page addressing this? I am happy to wordsmith this a bit
more to make it more appropriate for a web page.
