Hi James,

While I cannot speak for the rest of the mosh development community,
my impression is that there is not any interest in relicensing to a
permissive (MIT or BSD) license. JuiceSSH on Android gets around this
by having the mosh code be a separate binary and launching it from
within the app, if I recall the architecture correctly. Perhaps a
similar strategy can be used on iOS.

Sincerely,
-Alex
