                              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 http://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
      http://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 <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 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
        <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.
