d4ef65050feac78554addf6e16a06c6e2e0bd331Brian Wellington The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful and flexible HTTP/1.1 compliant
d4ef65050feac78554addf6e16a06c6e2e0bd331Brian Wellington web server. Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP
d4ef65050feac78554addf6e16a06c6e2e0bd331Brian Wellington Server, it has grown to be the most popular web server on the
d4ef65050feac78554addf6e16a06c6e2e0bd331Brian Wellington Internet. As a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the
d4ef65050feac78554addf6e16a06c6e2e0bd331Brian Wellington developers aim to collaboratively develop and maintain a robust,
dafcb997e390efa4423883dafd100c975c4095d6Mark Andrews commercial-grade, standards-based server with freely available
dafcb997e390efa4423883dafd100c975c4095d6Mark Andrews source code.

268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein This distribution may include software that has been designed for use
f5d30e2864e048a42c4dc1134993ae7efdb5d6c3Mark Andrews with cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption
268a4475065fe6a8cd7cc707820982cf5e98f430Rob Austein software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies
c40265eba0c99708887d68e67901924065ba2514Brian Wellington concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption
c40265eba0c99708887d68e67901924065ba2514Brian Wellington software, to see if this is permitted. See <http://www.wassenaar.org/>

a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews The following provides more details on the included files that
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews may be subject to export controls on cryptographic software:
2047977ce2dfcfe3a0fa2d638c3242841310fad3Mark Andrews Apache httpd 2.0 and later versions include the mod_ssl module under
dc6da18ccbb808d21f123cc6bda399b44ad11445Mark Andrews for configuring and listening to connections over SSL encrypted
4d9f3f00d93fcb8743b1105e8cf82e862be220d1Mark Andrews network sockets by performing calls to a general-purpose encryption
d0aebc5a55b6145297d94f8aee939852357c59fcMark Andrews library, such as OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews SSL facilities.
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews In addition, some versions of apr-util provide an abstract interface
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews for symmetrical cryptographic functions that make use of a
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews general-purpose encryption library, such as OpenSSL, NSS, or the
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews operating system's platform-specific facilities. This interface is
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews known as the apr_crypto interface, with implementation beneath the
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews /crypto directory. The apr_crypto interface is used by the
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews mod_session_crypto module available under
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews for optional encryption of session information.
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews Some object code distributions of Apache httpd, indicated with the
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews word "crypto" in the package name, may include object code for the
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews OpenSSL encryption library as distributed in open source form from
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews The above files are optional and may be removed if the cryptographic
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews functionality is not desired or needs to be excluded from redistribution.
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews Distribution packages of Apache httpd that include the word "nossl"
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews in the package name have been created without the above files and are
a903095bf4512dae561c7f6fc7854a51bebf334aMark Andrews therefore not subject to this notice.
