Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl)

This module provides strong cryptography for the Apache 1.3 webserver via the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols by the help of the Open Source SSL/TLS toolkit OpenSSL, which is based on SSLeay from Eric A. Young and Tim J. Hudson. The mod_ssl package was created in April 1998 by Ralf S. Engelschall and was originally derived from software developed by Ben Laurie for use in the Apache-SSL 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.

The mod_ssl package is distributed 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.

Apache-SSL

Apache-SSL is an encrypting web server, based on Apache and OpenSSL, which implements Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) functionality as a set of patches to existing Apache source code.

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.

Inside the United States in order to use Apache with SSL commercially you may want to look at Stronghold or Raven. Get Apache-SSL from here.
