Jordi,

Everything has a ECCN even a conversation in the street with a
non-resident (ie "deemed-export") has an ECCN. I looked in to this a few
years back, and you can see the thread at

http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/Export-control-td4636642.html

where after looking at the possible ECCNs that might cover Octave, the
only possible code seems to be EAR99, the catch all that covers
everything. Though you might need to apply for commodity status

Yes Linux has an ECCN as well, for example
