SSH Claims Draw Open Source Ire

JDStone writes to tell us eWeek is reporting that claims of OpenSSH not being an 'enterprise-class product' by SSH Communications, the creators of SSH, is being met with a great deal of resistance. Theo de Raadt, of OpenBSD fame and a member of the OpenSSH development team was quoted saying "OpenSSH is built into all Unix and Linux vendor operating systems, and is also built into almost all larger managed network switches, from Cisco through Foundry. It comes on Linksys and D-Link wireless and security routers too."

    You've been trolled. The openssh code base has plenty of comments, and it's a joy to read for most C programmers. It's nicely formatted, with plenty of consistency and thought put into the layout.

    So we should all pay 10x the original price for openSSH and be done with the controversy!
