Does this just effect the name of the product, such as
OpenSSH or FreSSH (assuming they capitalize it that way),
or does it go down to the command names to?  Ie, are you
saying that the command typed at the unix prompt needs to
be something other than 'ssh', and the daemon should not
be called 'sshd'?

this list to keep track of it's development]
