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 <http://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 SSL encrypted network sockets in the files under the directory + srclib/apr-util/ssl/ + that makes use of a general-purpose encryption library, such as + OpenSSL or the operating system's platform-specific SSL facilities. + Apache httpd currently does not use that apr-util interface. + + 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 + <http://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. + Contacts -------- |
