+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.
-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).
+But this way almost everyone will get ssh built-in.
