Thanks Mike. I appreciate the time and effort. I am sure you saw the email from Stefan on the subject as well.

Hi Patrick,

(I am actually a Verizon FiOS customer at my home. I prefer to to use GMail account for email though.)

I think it is safe to assume the answer is "no".

I'm reading the wikipedia article on ECCN. It sounds like it might be difficult for X2Go to obtain an ECCN because we use SSH and SSL for encryption.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_Administration_Regulations

Often we do use the Linux distro's provided SSH and SSL packages. But often (primarily on Windows and Mac) we do ship SSH and SSL libraries.

Of course, lots of open-source software uses and/or includes SSL libraries. This page seems to have useful advice.

 I am open to suggestions.

Also, note that X2Go infrastructure such as http://code.x2go.org/releases/ (where the Windows client's binaries are downloaded from) is hosted in Germany.
