I've repeatedly been in a position where we weren't making direct use
of OpenBSD, but were using OpenSSH, and if there were a recurring cost
associated with it (like purchasing a semi-annual CD) it would have
been relatively painless to get a rubber stamp approval of such a
cost, whereas purchasing an OS we weren't using would've been a much
more difficult sell. Since there is already regular ssh art, (that
could be used for the next several releases), how much further
effort/money would it take to release OpenSSH on CD? Also of the
people on misc@ how many would think they'd have an easier time
convincing bosses/clients/others to buy a single CD for say $25 then
they would getting an OS purchased. Just a thought, for these trying
economic times and whatnot.
