I can't seem to find the URL at the moment, but there's a project whose
purpose is the creation of a GPL'd (I believe) implementation of the ssh
protocol. An independent implementation is required if ssh is to be a
"standard," at any rate.

The GNU task list page lists this as a project to be done, but gives no
pointers to the existing work-in-progress. Hm.

I'd love to see and use a free equivalent to ssh, and it looks like one
will exist before too horribly long.
