+
+ Apache HTTP Server
+
+ What is it?
+ -----------
+
+ The Apache HTTP Server is a powerful and flexible HTTP/1.1 compliant
+ web server. Originally designed as a replacement for the NCSA HTTP
+ Server, it has grown to be the most popular web server on the
+ Internet. As a project of the Apache Software Foundation, the
+ developers aim to collaboratively develop and maintain a robust,
+ commercial-grade, standards-based server with freely available
+ source code.
+
+ The Latest Version
+ ------------------
+
+ Details of the latest version can be found on the Apache HTTP
+ server project page under https://httpd.apache.org/.
+
+ Documentation
+ -------------
+
+ The documentation available as of the date of this release is
+ included in HTML format in the docs/manual/ directory. The most
+ up-to-date documentation can be found at
+ https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/.
+
+ Installation
+ ------------
+
+ Please see the file called INSTALL. Platform specific notes can be
+ found in README.platforms.
+
+ Licensing
+ ---------
+
+ Please see the file called LICENSE.
+
+ Cryptographic Software Notice
+ -----------------------------
+
+ This distribution may include software that has been designed for use
+ with cryptographic software. The country in which you currently reside
+ may have restrictions on the import, possession, use, and/or re-export
+ to another country, of encryption software. BEFORE using any encryption
+ software, please check your country's laws, regulations and policies
+ concerning the import, possession, or use, and re-export of encryption
+ software, to see if this is permitted. See <https://www.wassenaar.org/>
+ for more information.
+
+ The U.S. Government Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and
+ Security (BIS), has classified this software as Export Commodity
+ Control Number (ECCN) 5D002.C.1, which includes information security
+ software using or performing cryptographic functions with asymmetric
+ algorithms. The form and manner of this Apache Software Foundation
+ distribution makes it eligible for export under the License Exception
+ ENC Technology Software Unrestricted (TSU) exception (see the BIS
+ Export Administration Regulations, Section 740.13) for both object
+ code and source code.
+
+ The following provides more details on the included files that
+ may be subject to export controls on cryptographic software:
+
+ Apache httpd 2.0 and later versions include the mod_ssl module under
+ modules/ssl/
+ for configuring and listening to connections over SSL encrypted
+ network sockets by performing calls to a general-purpose encryption
+ library, such as OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific
+ SSL facilities.
+
+ In addition, some versions of apr-util provide an abstract interface
+ for symmetrical cryptographic functions that make use of a
+ general-purpose encryption library, such as OpenSSL, NSS, or the
+ operating system's platform-specific facilities. This interface is
+ known as the apr_crypto interface, with implementation beneath the
+ /crypto directory. The apr_crypto interface is used by the
+ mod_session_crypto module available under
+ modules/session
+ for optional encryption of session information.
+
+ Some object code distributions of Apache httpd, indicated with the
+ word "crypto" in the package name, may include object code for the
+ OpenSSL encryption library as distributed in open source form from
+ <https://www.openssl.org/source/>.
+
+ The above files are optional and may be removed if the cryptographic
+ functionality is not desired or needs to be excluded from redistribution.
+ Distribution packages of Apache httpd that include the word "nossl"
+ in the package name have been created without the above files and are
+ therefore not subject to this notice.
