+ <P>
+ SSL (Secure Socket Layer) data transport requires encryption, and many
+ governments have restrictions upon the import, export, and use of
+ encryption technology. If Apache included SSL in the base package,
+ its distribution would involve all sorts of legal and bureaucratic
+ issues., and it would no longer be freely available.
+ </P>
+ <P>
+ Some SSL implementations of Apache are available, however; see the
+ &quot;<A
+ HREF="http://www.apache.org/related_projects"
+ >related projects</A>&quot;
+ page at the main Apache web site.
