SSH2, while having a license that is more evil than SSH1, is based on
version 2 of the SSH protocol, which is much more friendly for free
software than version 1, as it can be implemented without using patented
algorithms like RSA and IDEA.

Work is being done to implement the version 2 protocol as free software
(GPLed); see http://www.net.lut.ac.uk/psst/ ; contributors to this project
are welcome.
