A little clarification. It only matters if you *release* your stuff. If 
you do, you either have to release under a LGPL 2.1 compatible licence 
(GPL, LGPL, BSD, Apache, ...) or provide your binaries compiled against 
a dynamically linked libssh.

It's ok to provide a static version as long as you release the dynamic 
version together.

Andreas, I was looking in a way to staticaly compile libssh under 
linux, but did not find the good cmake commandline. Any idea ?

Thanks,

Aris
