Open Source Software is not subject to the EAR:

The following typical scenarios (but not an exhaustive list) are not subject to the EAR because “open source” is “published”:

• Open source software that is published publicly is not subject to the EAR
• Open source specifications that are published publicly are not subject to the EAR
• Open source files that describe the designs for hardware that are published publicly are not subject to the EAR • Open source software binaries that are published publicly are not subject to the EAR

The key word is the word “published.” For the purposes of the EAR, if the open source technology is publicly available without restrictions upon its further dissemination, then it is “published” and therefore “not subject to” the EAR.
