8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Apache HTTP Server
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful and flexible HTTP/1.1 compliant
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster web server. Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Server, it has grown to be the most popular web server on the
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Internet. As a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster developers aim to collaboratively develop and maintain a robust,
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster commercial-grade, standards-based server with freely available
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster source code.

8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster This distribution may include software that has been designed for use
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster with cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption

8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception

8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster The following provides more details on the included files that
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster may be subject to export controls on cryptographic software:
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Apache httpd 2.0 and later versions include the mod_ssl module under
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster for configuring and listening to connections over SSL encrypted
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster network sockets by performing calls to a general-purpose encryption
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster library, such as OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster SSL facilities.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster In addition, some versions of apr-util provide an abstract interface
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster for SSL encrypted network sockets in the files under the directory
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster that makes use of a general-purpose encryption library, such as
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific SSL facilities.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Apache httpd currently does not use that apr-util interface.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Some object code distributions of Apache httpd, indicated with the
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster word "crypto" in the package name, may include object code for the
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster OpenSSL encryption library as distributed in open source form from
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster The above files are optional and may be removed if the cryptographic
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster functionality is not desired or needs to be excluded from redistribution.
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster Distribution packages of Apache httpd that include the word "nossl"
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster in the package name have been created without the above files and are
8af80418ba1ec431c8027fa9668e5678658d3611Allan Foster therefore not subject to this notice.
