Umm.... what? In the same way the Mozilla people are going through a lot of trouble to de-GNU-ify netscape. It was never GNU software or GPL'd or even under a decent license (save SSH <= 1.1.12). OpenSSH is an attempt to make SSH free software, not to de-GNU-ify it. The reason it's under a BSD-esque license is because that's the license Tatu Ylonen put SSH 1.1.12 under (that was the starting point for OpenSSH). Nobody's going through any trouble to de-GNU-ify anything. -Dan -- "... the most serious problems in the Internet have been caused by unenvisaged mechanisms triggered by low-probability events; mere human malice would never have taken so devious a course!" - RFC 1122 section 1.2.2
