Use of OpenSSH PAM code under the GPL

[Andrew Bartlett]

One of the things I have always liked about OpenSSH is the readability
of the code, and for that reason I have looked to reuse the code
elsewhere, in this case Samba.

I have prepared and submitted a patch to Samba 2.2 to give it better PAM
support, which uses some of the OpenSSH code.  Questions have however
been raised about the compatibility of the license on that code with the
GNU GPL v2 (or later) used in the rest of Samba, and it is for that
reason that I ask if it is possible for you to relicense/dual license
the code?

For your reference the patch can be found at
