Statement
FAQ A.9.18: the developers do not know whether PuTTY has an Export Control Classification Number, believe it falls under 5D002 on the US Commerce Control List without that being definitive, and advise seeking professional legal advice; they cannot provide FIPS certification unless someone else does the work and pays the costs.
