So I don't think there are any legal restrictions that would preclude VSI from releasing OpenSSH for HPE releases of VMS. But it's awfully hard to think of any reason that they would do so. Well, as I said before, I had heard that they can't offer any binary packages - open source or not - for VSI branded releases, hence not releasing anything for VAX even though they support customers with VAX because of their license agreement. I suppose they could provide a patch set and MMS file for you to build...

I have not yet had a chance to test the Alpha OpenSSH port, need to take the time to manually install it as the initial kit was tied to VSI specific versions of OpenVMS, not that is should be. I recall that being a licensing issue - VSI can't support HP VMS at a code fix level/release updates/updated LPs for it, only VSI builds. While for example, i'm told they have the rights to do a VAX release, they can't release (only do tech support/troubleshooting - but not issue patches) any updates/fixes...

Howdy! I know a few of us are coming out of the woodwork with the outpouring of new interest from the floodgates of x86 slowly opening, it definitely looks like more troops are starting to arrive! Just a few months ago I got my own copies and booted up my itanium to start moving stuff forward off of it for the first time in 6-7 years! At this rate i'm going to have to dig out my Alpha too... i've been writing the past month entirely new code, and my first test case/user was on a physical VAX of all...
