cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding Apache HTTP Server
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding What is it?
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding -----------
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful and flexible HTTP/1.1 compliant
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding web server. Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding Server, it has grown to be the most popular web server on the
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding Internet. As a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding developers aim to collaboratively develop and maintain a robust,
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding commercial-grade, standards-based server with freely available
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding source code.

cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding This distribution may include software that has been designed for use
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding with cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding software, to see if this is permitted. See <http://www.wassenaar.org/>
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding for more information.
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding code and source code.
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding The following provides more details on the included files that
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding may be subject to export controls on cryptographic software:
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding Apache httpd 2.0 and later versions include the mod_ssl module under
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding for configuring and listening to connections over SSL encrypted
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding network sockets by performing calls to a general-purpose encryption
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding library, such as OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding SSL facilities.
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding In addition, some versions of apr-util provide an abstract interface
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding for SSL encrypted network sockets in the files under the directory
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding that makes use of a general-purpose encryption library, such as
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific SSL facilities.
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding Apache httpd currently does not use that apr-util interface.
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding Some object code distributions of Apache httpd, indicated with the
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding word "crypto" in the package name, may include object code for the
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding OpenSSL encryption library as distributed in open source form from
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding The above files are optional and may be removed if the cryptographic
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding functionality is not desired or needs to be excluded from redistribution.
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding Distribution packages of Apache httpd that include the word "nossl"
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding in the package name have been created without the above files and are
cfa64348224b66dd1c9979b809406c4d15b1c137fielding therefore not subject to this notice.
