Some slightly more recent history: where code has been supplied by Sun 
(or anyone else for that matter) under a compatible license (ISC, 2 or 3 
term BSD) and there is a need for it, we are happy to use it.

For example, BSM audit support has been in the last couple of OpenSSH 
releases (audit-bsm.c), based on code supplied by Sun under a 2-term BSD 
license.

Now whether or not anyone actually uses it is another question.  I've 
seen no comments about it post-release.  Hopefully no news is good news...

     Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
