Since SSH Inc two years ago took significant parts of GMP and deleted
the FSF copyright notices, and then ignored the agreement we reached
on how to resolve that situation, I urge everyone not to help SSH's
engineers with any issues concerning GMP.

Lately, SSH Inc has threatened to sue people using ssh as the name of
a specific protocol ("the ssh protocol"), including the IETF (Internet
Engineering Task Force, the entity that handles Internet protocol
standardization).  Bizarre, since they explicitly give permission to
use the name in their old, free source code.

Given this background, I don't think SSH can be regarded as a serious
company.  They don't deserve serious replies.
