You are not correct I think. The ssh2 software which people in www.ssh.fi land wrote has a very restricted license, but the protocol itself is open.

[this is like tcp/ip -- MS has a proprietary stack, but protocol is open] -- Yan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
