+Linux supporters fiddle while OpenSSH burns</a>, The Jem Report, March 28, 2006
+</strong></font><br>
+The title of this piece comes from the Linux people who put "binary blob" driver
+code into Linux after signing non-disclosure agreements with proprietary-hardware
+vendors.
+But another large part of this write-up focusses on OpenBSD/OpenSSH funding, 
+and has some original legwork to go with it.
+Writer Jem Matzan took the trouble to
+contact many of the companies who charge a lot for products
+featuring OpenSSH and yet give nothing to OpenSSH in return.
+Companies like SCO, IBM, Apple, and Sun.
+Sun apparently did the worst job of responding:
+"Since the release of Solaris 10, who has been a larger open source
+software cheerleader than Sun Microsystems?", Matzan asks. "I asked Sun 
+representatives what they would do if OpenSSH were to disappear. The only response
+I got was that there are parts of Solaris that compete with OpenSSH,
+and that because of this, the company would rather not comment
+further on the issue."  What the Sun teleprompter-readers don't seem to realize -
+but Matzan does - is that 
+<a href="http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/cmd/ssh/ssh/ssh.c">
+SunSSH <em>is</em> OpenSSH</a>.
+Or, at least, a mangled version of it...
+IBM, on the other hand, is still trying to formulate their response.

+Interview: Theo de Raadt of OpenBSD</a>, NewsForge, March 28, 2006
+</strong></font><br>
+A wide-ranging interview with Theo about new stuff in 3.9, security, funding,
+"blob" drivers, and more.
+Theo notes that "We've had 10 years of nearly fanatical devotion
+to anything which can make OpenBSD more secure. A very important
+part of that is that we have not been afraid to completely overhaul
+anything even if it breaks backward compatibility. Secondly, when
+we have found a flaw in any part of the system we have assumed that
+the same mistake was made elsewhere, and gone on a hunt to fix them
+all. Thirdly, we have developed and incorporated a collection of
+methods that make software flaws very difficult to attack..."
+Ends by trying to shame the companies that use OpenSSH without contributing
+anything back - Sun is given especial mention here -  and ends with 
+the tantalizing line ".. if an OpenSSH hole is found that applies to SunSSH,
+Sun will not be informed. Or maybe that has happened already." Hmmmm.
