Umm... and where is this 'magical' GPL licensing for Linux?  All licensing
I see is the extremely restrict 'If you use this for anything that even
SORTA smells like commerical.. you owe us bigtime'.  

I'd love to see anything differently.  I even just downloaded the source
to verify.  Because if sftp was under GPL style licensing then it could be
folded into the OpenSSH with of course Theo's permission. =)

"find . -type f -print | xargs grep GPL"  Only shows up
lib/sshcrypt/des.c which is under dual license.

For reference to the SSH.com's licensing see:
