openssh unix dev - Oct 2009 - OpenSSH client for non-jailbroken iPhone

Hello,

I was wondering if there are any legal problems with porting the OpenSSH client
code to the iPhone, and then distributing the app on the Apple iPhone App store
for free.  Since it's open source, I don't think I would charge anything
for it.  (On second thought, I would accept donations solely to pay for my apple
developer license).  I was just considering doing this since there currently is
not a free version of a SSH client for non-jailbroken phones.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

John

No legal issues, given the BSD license, but there *are* SSH clients for the
iPhone.  Note that you have to port both SSH and a VT100 client, which is
more than a bit of work.
