(recently deceased) FreeS/WAN project have started a [1]new company to
develop and support the successor of the Linux IPsec code under the
name of [2]Openswan in a "Cygnus style" business model. They
[3]announced the new version at CeBIT which fully supports the new
Linux 2.6 native IPsec stack. According to the [4]Openswan website, it
was started 'by a few of the developers who were growing frustrated
with the politics surrounding the FreeS/WAN project.' There is a
[5]FAQ that explains how the various parts of IPsec on Linux work
together. I guess that means US citizens can finally submit patches,
and that distributions like RedHat/Fedora can now include it in their
distribution. FreeS/WAN has always had the most features and most the
most user-friendly configuration. It is good to see that will
continue. And their [6]mailing list finally seems to refuse spam too."
