Whether we like it or not he is at this point politely asking that his license be respected. Perhaps he could have done this earlier, and perhaps he could have been more clear. The fact remains that this gentleman has given us an excellent tool that fixes one of the worst security problems, that being clear text authentication. So why don't we thank him by respecting his wishes and changing the name? Here are some possibilities:
1. OpenShell, OSH replaces SSH.
1.1 OpenOSH, OSH replaces SSH.
2. Secure Remote Shell, SRSH replaces SSH.
2.1 OpenSRSH, SRSH replaces SSH.
3. Crypto Remote Shell, CRSH replaces SSH.
3.1 OpenCRSH, CRSH replaces SSH
There could be many variants of the above that not only sound good but make sense.. I hope the community can come together on this and perhaps/. can mediate this by creating an online vote that can help the OpenSSH folks pick a new name.
