Licensing and Stuff:

For more details read readme.license.txt

In brief: You're welcome to use FiSSH for any non-commercial purpose.  As
we utilize some other people's code we unfortunately can't mark the whole
product as free or give it away for commercial use.  The general terms are
that the source is free but we still own the copyrights to it.  As such
feel free to hack away but if you use the code in some other product, it
must not use the name "FiSSH" or "MassConfusion" or "Massachusetts
Institute of Technology" and you must show the Copyright statement.

I'm going to quote from Peter Gutmann's documentation (as we use his code
we're going to follow his lead):

* If you use the library as part of a product, you must give the authors
  credit in your software and/or documentation. 

* If you make any changes to the code, you should send a copy of the
  changes to the author or authors to allow them to integrate them into the
  code.  This is to allow a central consistent version to be maintained.  

* Any software you create with this code may not be merely a set or subset of
  the encryption library, with or without minor added functionality or a
  different interface. In particular you can't distribute the library (or any
  modified form of it) as your own encryption product. This is to stop people
  adding their own wrappers and selling it as "their" encryption product. 

* Any large-scale commercial use of cryptlib requires a license.
  "Large-scale commercial use" means any revenue-generating purpose such as
  use for company-internal purposes, or use of cryptlib in an application
  or product, with a total gross revenue of over US$5,000. This allows
  cryptlib to be used in freeware and shareware applications and for
  research purposes and non-revenure-generating personal use without
  charge. In addition the author reserves the right to grant free licenses
  for commercial use in special cases (for example where there is a general
  benefit to the public), contact the author for details if you think you
  qualify.

(Note:  The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been granted such a
license.)
