openssh

This file is part of the OpenSSH software.

The licences which components of this software fall under are as follows. First, we will sum-
marize and say that all components are under a BSD licence, or a licence more free than
that.

OpenSSH contains no GPL code.

* All rights reserved
*
* As far as I am concerned, the code I have written for this software
* can be used freely for any purpose. Any derived versions of this
* software must be clearly marked as such, and if the derived work is
* incompatible with the protocol description in the RFC file, it must be
* called by a name other than "ssh" or "Secure Shell".
[Tatu continues]
* However, I am not implying to give any licenses to any patents or
* copyrights held by third parties, and the software includes parts that
* are not under my direct control. As far as I know, all included
* source code is used in accordance with the relevant license agreements
* and can be used freely for any purpose (the GNU license being the most
* restrictive); see below for details.

[However, none of that term is relevant at this point in time. All of these restrictively li-
cenced software components which he talks about have been removed from OpenSSH,
i.e.,
