! What do most people do right after they install OpenBSD?
! They install Secure Shell (SSH) from the ports tree or the packages on ! the CD-ROM. Until now, that is.
This is still very much a work in progress, but we found an innovative way ! around the RSA patent. We are taking a free license release of SSH and ! OpenBSD-ifying it.
! We get around the US-based RSA patent by letting end users ! selectively download the correct libssl file for their location (US resident ! or not).

! What is the first thing most people do after installing OpenBSD? ! They install Secure Shell (ssh) from the ports tree or the packages on ! the FTP sites. Until now, that is.
This is still very much a work in progress, but we found an innovative way ! around the RSA patent. We are taking a free license release of ssh and ! OpenBSD-ifying it. We will get around the USA-based RSA patent by providing ! an easy way to automatically download and install a RSA-enabled package ! containing shared library versions of libcrypto and libss. These packages ! are based on OpenSSL. People living outside the USA can freely use the ! RSA patented code, while people inside the USA can freely use it for ! non-commercial purposes. It appears as if companies inside the USA can ! use the RSA libraries too, as long as RSA is not used in a profit generating ! role.
! But this way almost everyone will get ssh built-in.
