| 2 Apache HTTP Server |
| 3 |
| 4 What is it? |
| 5 ----------- |
| 6 |
| 7 The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful and flexible HTTP/1.1 compliant |
| 8 web server. Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP |
| 9 Server, it has grown to be the most popular web server on the |
| 10 Internet. As a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the |
| 11 developers aim to collaboratively develop and maintain a robust, |
| 12 commercial-grade, standards-based server with freely available |
| 13 source code. |
| 14 |
| 15 The Latest Version |
| 16 ------------------ |
| 17 |
| 18 Details of the latest version can be found on the Apache HTTP |
| 19 server project page under <http://httpd.apache.org/>. |
| 20 |
| 21 Documentation |

| 40 Cryptographic Software Notice |
| 41 ----------------------------- |
| 42 |
| 43 This distribution may include software that has been designed for use |
| 44 with cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside |
| 45 may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export |
| 46 to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption |
| 47 software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies |
| 48 concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption |
| 49 software, to see if this is permitted. See <http://www.wassenaar.org/> |
| 50 for more information. |
| 51 |
| 52 The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and |
| 53 Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity |
| 54 Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security |
| 55 software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric |
| 56 algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation |
| 57 distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception |
| 58 ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS |
| 59 Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object |
| 60 code and source code. |
| 61 |
| 62 The following provides more details on the included files that |
| 63 may be subject to export controls on cryptographic software: |
| 64 |
| 65 Apache httpd 2.0 and later versions include the mod_ssl module under |
| 66 modules/ssl/ |
| 67 for configuring and listening to connections over SSL encrypted |
| 68 network sockets by performing calls to a general-purpose encryption |
| 69 library, such as OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific |
| 70 SSL facilities. |
| 71 |
| 72 In addition, some versions of apr-util provide an abstract interface |
| 73 for SSL encrypted network sockets in the files under the directory |
| 74 srclib/apr-util/ssl/ |
| 75 that makes use of a general-purpose encryption library, such as |
| 76 OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific SSL facilities. |
| 77 Apache httpd currently does not use that apr-util interface. |
| 78 |
| 79 Some object code distributions of Apache httpd, indicated with the |
| 80 word "crypto" in the package name, may include object code for the |
| 81 OpenSSL encryption library as distributed in open source form from |
| 82 <http://www.openssl.org/source/>. |
| 83 |
| 84 The above files are optional and may be removed if the cryptographic |
| 85 functionality is not desired or needs to be excluded from redistribution. |
| 86 Distribution packages of Apache httpd that include the word "nossl" |
| 87 in the package name have been created without the above files and are |
| 88 therefore not subject to this notice. |
