If he's going to copy/base his work on openssh, the openssh license must surely be respected. FWIW, that's the issue I was talking about when we discussed the contributor agreement in the PSF list, regarding inclusion of code with foreign licenses. In this occasion, you said a contributor must not include code not authored by him, and cannot sign an agreement on such code. -- Gustavo Niemeyer http://niemeyer.net
