No, we won't compromise our principles by making OpenSSH "somewhat free".
The choice is:
1. Vendors, who have benefitted immensely from integrating OpenSSH,
contibute something back to improve it further
2. Development continues more slowly
We love doing what we do, and we aren't going to stop over some dollars.
The assistance that we are asking for is so we can do more of it, and
this benefits everyone - especially the organisations whom we are
seeking that very assistance from.
