That was my feeling as well. I also lean towards the OSS version so as to avoid depending on the viability of a single commercial vendor.

In fact, our classroom installs had OpenSSL/OpenSSH already installed and I took the class through updating both, citing the need to keep current, especially with security-related software.

Actually, this is part of a guerrilla effort on my part to establish proof-of-concept for OSS as part of our college LAN infrastructure as well as to show students how they can put together a very functional chunk of network (DNS, e-mail, etc.) for very little cost and not that much more effort than a commercial solution, at least for basic services.
