MindTerm
MindTerm is a complete ssh-client in pure Java. It can be used either as a standalone Java application or as a Java applet. Three packages of importance are provided (terminal, ssh, and security). The terminal package is a rather complete vt102/xterm-terminal, and the ssh-package contains the ssh- protocol and also "drop-in" socket replacements to use ssh-tunnels transparently from a Java application/applet. It also contains functionality to realize a ssh-server. Finally, the security package contains RSA, DES, 3DES, Blowfish, IDEA, and RC4 ciphers.

Don't be disappointed, just use a free client! This thing is dated and archaic anyway. Try SSHTerm, it's free (GPL), supports SSH2 and has a funky interface, unlike the sloppy, amateur effort published here. Check it out:

Very disappointed over the commercialisation of mindterm
We're all *very disappointed* this has become
commercial.
This is a modified version of MindTerm 1.2.1 which is GPL'ed.

MindTerm for Private Use?
I can't seem to find MindTerm (for personal use) on the website anymore? Has something happened? Is it no longer available?

Glad to hear this, now I can put my lawers away,
as I am selling as a commercial package code which
I wrote (released under GPL originally, but now BSD).
What however, about the code that was contributed
by others into your own project? ie, such as
patches, fixes, features?
Re: The license of MindTerm v1.99
> Since these guys are the original creators, (i assume) Can't they change the license as they see fit
True. They can change license as they want and when they want, regardless of original license or changes in code.
BTW, concerning GPL, if you read it carefully:
---snip---
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.
---snip---
(Terms and conditions, Article 0, paragraph 2).
So, even GPL may not restrict _use_ of some product (so I still may sell it without any distribution, for instance :).
