d943f5870debf69f3186f2666221abefc22a2d6drbb Apache HTTP Server
8ddfe3a457c91c8e7d48134398fb178b091366d7rbb What is it?
8ddfe3a457c91c8e7d48134398fb178b091366d7rbb -----------
d943f5870debf69f3186f2666221abefc22a2d6drbb The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful and flexible HTTP/1.1 compliant
d943f5870debf69f3186f2666221abefc22a2d6drbb web server. Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP
d943f5870debf69f3186f2666221abefc22a2d6drbb Server, it has grown to be the most popular web server on the
d943f5870debf69f3186f2666221abefc22a2d6drbb Internet. As a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the
d943f5870debf69f3186f2666221abefc22a2d6drbb developers aim to collaboratively develop and maintain a robust,
d943f5870debf69f3186f2666221abefc22a2d6drbb commercial-grade, standards-based server with freely available
d943f5870debf69f3186f2666221abefc22a2d6drbb source code.

ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding -----------------------------
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding This distribution may include software that has been designed for use
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding with cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding software, to see if this is permitted. See <http://www.wassenaar.org/>
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding for more information.
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding code and source code.
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding The following provides more details on the included files that
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding may be subject to export controls on cryptographic software:
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding Apache httpd 2.0 and later versions include the mod_ssl module under
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding for configuring and listening to connections over SSL encrypted
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding network sockets by performing calls to a general-purpose encryption
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding library, such as OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding SSL facilities.
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding In addition, some versions of apr-util provide an abstract interface
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding for SSL encrypted network sockets in the files under the directory
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding that makes use of a general-purpose encryption library, such as
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific SSL facilities.
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding Apache httpd currently does not use that apr-util interface.
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding Some object code distributions of Apache httpd, indicated with the
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding word "crypto" in the package name, may include object code for the
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding OpenSSL encryption library as distributed in open source form from
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding The above files are optional and may be removed if the cryptographic
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding functionality is not desired or needs to be excluded from redistribution.
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding Distribution packages of Apache httpd that include the word "nossl"
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding in the package name have been created without the above files and are
ff36db79584271642c39863d1a7a6ce0923b58e4fielding therefore not subject to this notice.
