031b91a62d25106ae69d4693475c79618dd5e884fielding The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful and flexible HTTP/1.1 compliant
031b91a62d25106ae69d4693475c79618dd5e884fielding web server. Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP
031b91a62d25106ae69d4693475c79618dd5e884fielding Server, it has grown to be the most popular web server on the
031b91a62d25106ae69d4693475c79618dd5e884fielding Internet. As a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the
031b91a62d25106ae69d4693475c79618dd5e884fielding developers aim to collaboratively develop and maintain a robust,
031b91a62d25106ae69d4693475c79618dd5e884fielding commercial-grade, standards-based server with freely available

208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi This distribution may include software that has been designed for use
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi with cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside
d0d46268e8848d51066b409d6b8ffe4d9df13e77yoshiki may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi software, to see if this is permitted. See <http://www.wassenaar.org/>
d0d46268e8848d51066b409d6b8ffe4d9df13e77yoshiki for more information.
d0d46268e8848d51066b409d6b8ffe4d9df13e77yoshiki The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and
d0d46268e8848d51066b409d6b8ffe4d9df13e77yoshiki Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity
d0d46268e8848d51066b409d6b8ffe4d9df13e77yoshiki Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security
d0d46268e8848d51066b409d6b8ffe4d9df13e77yoshiki software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception
d0d46268e8848d51066b409d6b8ffe4d9df13e77yoshiki ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS

208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi code and source code.
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi The following provides more details on the included files that
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi may be subject to export controls on cryptographic software:
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi Apache httpd 2.0 and later versions include the mod_ssl module under
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi for configuring and listening to connections over SSL encrypted
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi network sockets by performing calls to a general-purpose encryption
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi library, such as OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi SSL facilities.
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi In addition, some versions of apr-util provide an abstract interface
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi for SSL encrypted network sockets in the files under the directory
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi that makes use of a general-purpose encryption library, such as
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific SSL facilities.
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi Apache httpd currently does not use that apr-util interface.
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi Some object code distributions of Apache httpd, indicated with the
2733234cc7877f4682f254540e705834e4bb176akawai word "crypto" in the package name, may include object code for the
2733234cc7877f4682f254540e705834e4bb176akawai OpenSSL encryption library as distributed in open source form from
d0d46268e8848d51066b409d6b8ffe4d9df13e77yoshiki The above files are optional and may be removed if the cryptographic
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi functionality is not desired or needs to be excluded from redistribution.
208651a016b098f4fa1f6279559f104d70f1632dtakashi Distribution packages of Apache httpd that include the word "nossl"
d0d46268e8848d51066b409d6b8ffe4d9df13e77yoshiki in the package name have been created without the above files and are
d0d46268e8848d51066b409d6b8ffe4d9df13e77yoshiki therefore not subject to this notice.
