[Mehdi Sotoodeh]

Hi Mark,
Thanks for taking the time and pointing out the inconsistencies of the license terms. You are right and I have not paid enough attention on it. This can be changed easily to meet openssh requirements.
I am considering a cleanup round to get rid of duplicates and some reorganization of files. I welcome reviews and appreciate comments.

Regards
mehdi.

In your readme you first state 'All rights reserved' ... then claim the code is in 'the public domain'. Looking into the headings on the source-code, I see a BSD like license-text:
