I think you really should know that:

 a) exports without users are a complete no-go, and sending them is
    considered a major offence
 b) even with users, exporting data (variables) is generally a bad idea
 c) non-GPL exports for new functionality are almost always a bad idea

if not please take this up with your corporate and technical leadership
to ensure the Linux training standards at LG are up to date.
