Udo, us:

AFAIR this happened to SSH.com with the bigint code in ssh-v1.3
SSH included GMP, which was licensed under the GPL. Nothing "happened" there, only the OpenSSH folks disliked the license and reimplemented GMP.
... and had to fight an ugly battle over the question whether the reimplementation was legitimate reuse of ideas or code theft. I don't understand why you have to be so insulting. I was making a false claim because I didn't know better, but I don't consider that a good reason to claim everything I am saying is bullshit and start a bar fight. Anyway this is not only getting ugly but also way off topic. I'm out. cheers, Matthias
