DCSSI Authorisation for Free BSD Software

[Bethan Phillips]

Good Afternoon,

We are working with our client Reuters to help them comply with EU and US 
export control regulation. In this regard, Reuters have some Free BSD v4.1 
software, which they are sending to France. A declaration or authorisation 
may be needed for this software for import into, use in, supply in, or 
export from France. Can you please advice us if FreeBSD have obtained a 
French encryption authorisation for the above mentioned software from the 
DCSSI?

If this is the case we would be grateful if you could provide us with a 
copy of this authorisation, as Reuters will need this to export this 
product to/from France, and the DCSSI does not supply this information to 
third parties.

Thank you very much for your assistance in this matter.

Best Regards

Ole Thoresen
