    107 The name "libpng" has not been registered by the Copyright owner
    108 as a trademark in any jurisdiction.  However, because libpng has
    109 been distributed and maintained world-wide, continually since 1995,
    110 the Copyright owner claims "common-law trademark protection" in any
    111 jurisdiction where common-law trademark is recognized.
    112 
    113 OSI CERTIFICATION:
    114 
    115 Libpng is OSI Certified Open Source Software.  OSI Certified Open Source is

    117 the additional disclaimers inserted at version 1.0.7.
    118 
    119 EXPORT CONTROL:
    120 
    121 The Copyright owner believes that the Export Control Classification
    122 Number (ECCN) for libpng is EAR99, which means not subject to export
    123 controls or International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) because
    124 it is open source, publicly available software, that does not contain
    125 any encryption software.  See the EAR, paragraphs 734.3(b)(3) and
    126 734.7(b).
