The deal shielded all upstream vendors of Red Hat, which includes the OpenBSD project (at
least as far as OpenSSH and OpenSSL are concerned). It's in no way GPL only.
(I quite agree that it's not necessarily a good deal -- one wonders if Red Hat lawyers knew
what Sun was up to, or the latter intentionally kept them in the dark)

The article goes out of its way to tell us that they did keep RedHat informed. Which makes it
seem more peculiar to me.
