<H3><A NAME="apachessl" HREF="http://www.apache-ssl.org/">Apache-SSL</A></H3>
Apache-SSL is an encrypting web server, based on Apache and SSLeay, which
implements <A HREF="http://home.netscape.com/newsref/std/">Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL)</A> functionality as a set of patches to existing Apache
source code.<P>
The webserver is distributed with the full source code. Inside the
United States you are able to use it for non-commercial purposes for
free if you use RSAREF (due to various patents). Outside the United
States you can use it for non-commercial and commercial purposes for
free.<P>
Inside the United States in order to use Apache with SSL commercially
you may want to look at <A HREF="#stronghold">Stronghold</A> or <A

href="index.html">Apache</a> 1.3 webserver via the <a
href="http://www.netscape.com/eng/ssl3/">Secure Sockets Layer</a> (SSL v2/v3)
and <a href="http://www.consensus.com/ietf-tls/ietf-tls-home.html">Transport
Layer Security</a> (TLS v1) protocols by the help of the <a
href="http://www.opensource.org/">Open Source</a> SSL/TLS toolkit <a
href="http://www.openssl.org/">OpenSSL</a>, which is based on <a
href="http://www.ssleay.org/">SSLeay</a> from <a
href="mailto:eay@cryptsoft.com">Eric A. Young</a> and <a
href="mailto:tjh@cryptsoft.com">Tim J. Hudson</a>. The mod_ssl package was
created in April 1998 by <a href="http://www.engelschall.com/">Ralf S.
Engelschall</a> and was originally derived from software developed by <a
href="mailto:ben@algroup.co.uk">Ben Laurie</a> for use in the <a
href="http://www.apache-ssl.org/">Apache-SSL</a> HTTP server project. The
mod_ssl package is licensed under a BSD-style licence, which basically means
that you are free to get and use it for commercial and non-commercial
purposes.
<P>
The mod_ssl package is <A
HREF="http://www.modssl.org/source/">distributed</A> as a
source extension and set of patches for the Apache 1.3 webserver from outside
the United States. Inside the United States you are able to use it for
non-commercial purposes for free if you use RSAREF (due to various patents).
Outside the United States you can use it for non-commercial and commercial
purposes for free.
