Just another idea. Start making the mega-companies like IBM, RedHat, etc pay a license fee for the use of OpenSSH. They save literally millions of dollars incorporating this into their own products, and don't give anything back to the project.

They won't give anything financially without it being *required* for them to give; they certainly aren't going to give money out of the goodness of their hearts ......

Hi,

Just an idea, but why not try to have this conversation linked to on
slashdot  / digg. There is huge traffic to these sites from the linux
community, who all owe the OpenBSD developers for OpenSSH.

No one seems to care (unless donations have shot up and Theo, et. al.
haven't mentioned it)
