The official name is actually "Secure Web Server". The "HP" at the beginning
is the corporate standard for referring to a product the first time it is
mentioned.
Apache Software Foundation licensing terms prohibited us from calling it
"Apache" initially because we shipped it with SSL built-in. At the time
(Apache 1.3.12 timeframe), SSL was a separate option due to the crypto
export rules in place at the time. In addition, our code base included
changes to accommodate VMS and were not reflected in the official ASF
codebase.
