+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+
+The JCE architecture allows flexible cryptographic strength to be
+configured via the jurisdiction policy files contained within these
+directories.
+
+Due to import control restrictions of some countries, the default
+JCE policy files bundled in this Java Runtime Environment allow
+for strong but "limited" cryptographic strengths.  For convenience,
+this build also contains the "unlimited strength" policy files which
+contain no restrictions on cryptographic strengths, but they must be
+specifically activated by updating the "crypto.policy" Security property
+(e.g. <java-home>/conf/security/java.security) to point to the appropriate
+directory.
+
+Each subdirectory contains a complete policy configuration, and additional
+subdirectories can be added/removed to reflect local regulations.
+
+JCE for Java SE has been through the U.S. export review process.  The JCE
+framework, along with the various JCE providers that come standard with it
+(SunJCE, SunEC, SunPKCS11, SunMSCAPI, etc), is exportable from the
+United States.
+
+You are advised to consult your export/import control counsel or attorney
+to determine the exact requirements of your location, and what policy
+settings should be used.
+
+Please see The Java(TM) Cryptography Architecture (JCA) Reference
+Guide and the java.security file for more information.
