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 licenced software
components which he talks about have been removed from OpenSSH, i.e.,
- RSA is no longer included, found in the OpenSSL library
- IDEA is no longer included, its use is deprecated
- DES is now external, in the OpenSSL library
- GMP is no longer used, and instead we call BN code from OpenSSL
