LICENCE revision 1.1
      1 This file is part of the OpenSSH software.
      2 
      3 The licences which components of this software fall under are as
      4 follows.  First, we will summarize and say that all components
      5 are under a BSD licence, or a licence more free than that.
      6 
      7 OpenSSH contains no GPL code.

     10      * Copyright (c) 1995 Tatu Ylonen <ylo (a] cs.hut.fi>, Espoo, Finland
     11      *                    All rights reserved
     12      *
     13      * As far as I am concerned, the code I have written for this software
     14      * can be used freely for any purpose.  Any derived versions of this
     15      * software must be clearly marked as such, and if the derived work is
     16      * incompatible with the protocol description in the RFC file, it must be
     17      * called by a name other than "ssh" or "Secure Shell".
     18 
     19     [Tatu continues]
     20      *  However, I am not implying to give any licenses to any patents or
     21      * copyrights held by third parties, and the software includes parts that
     22      * are not under my direct control.  As far as I know, all included
     23      * source code is used in accordance with the relevant license agreements
     24      * and can be used freely for any purpose (the GNU license being the most
     25      * restrictive); see below for details.
     26 
     27     [However, none of that term is relevant at this point in time.  All of
     28     these restrictively licenced software components which he talks about
     29     have been removed from OpenSSH, i.e.,
     30 
     31      - RSA is no longer included, found in the OpenSSL library
     32      - IDEA is no longer included, its use is deprecated
     33      - DES is now external, in the OpenSSL library
     34      - GMP is no longer used, and instead we call BN code from OpenSSL
     35      - Zlib is now external, in a library
     36      - The make-ssh-known-hosts script is no longer included
     37      - TSS has been removed
     38      - MD5 is now external, in the OpenSSL library
     39      - RC4 support has been replaced with ARC4 support from OpenSSL
     40      - Blowfish is now external, in the OpenSSL library
     41 
     42     [The licence continues]
     43 
     44     Note that any information and cryptographic algorithms used in this
     45     software are publicly available on the Internet and at any major
     46     bookstore, scientific library, and patent office worldwide.  More
     47     information can be found e.g. at "http://www.cs.hut.fi/crypto".
     48 
     49     The legal status of this program is some combination of all these
     50     permissions and restrictions.  Use only at your own responsibility.
     51     You will be responsible for any legal consequences yourself; I am not
     52     making any claims whether possessing or using this is legal or not in
     53     your country, and I am not taking any responsibility on your behalf.
     54 
     55 
     56 			    NO WARRANTY
     57 
     58     BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
     59     FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
     60     OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
     61     PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
     62     OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
     63     MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
     64     TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
     65     PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
     66     REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
     67 
     68     IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
     69     WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
     70     REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
     71     INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
     72     OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
     73     TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
     74     YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
     75     PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
     76     POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
