Does it simply mean that this module isn't enabled by default? I suppose it's a bit of an academic question, but one of my guys asked me when they went to download it and I didn't have an answer for him. This seemed like the place to go to find out.
The mod_ssl module is not compiled for the no_ssl binary distribution, and it does not contain the OpenSSL cryptographic libraries. So, that binary distribution cannot be used to serve HTTPS traffic. You can download and use it even if your government, or the US government, don't want you to have access to cryptographic software.
