    108 TRADEMARK:
    109 
    110 The name "libpng" has not been registered by the Copyright owner
    111 as a trademark in any jurisdiction.  However, because libpng has
    112 been distributed and maintained world-wide, continually since 1995,
    113 the Copyright owner claims "common-law trademark protection" in any
    114 jurisdiction where common-law trademark is recognized.
    115 
    116 OSI CERTIFICATION:
    117 
    118 Libpng is OSI Certified Open Source Software.  OSI Certified Open Source is
    119 a certification mark of the Open Source Initiative. OSI has not addressed
    120 the additional disclaimers inserted at version 1.0.7.
    121 
    122 EXPORT CONTROL:
    123 
    124 The Copyright owner believes that the Export Control Classification
    125 Number (ECCN) for libpng is EAR99, which means not subject to export
    126 controls or International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) because
    127 it is open source, publicly available software, that does not contain
    128 any encryption software.  See the EAR, paragraphs 734.3(b)(3) and
    129 734.7(b).
