Here is the relevant text: לא ידרש רשיון לעיסוק באמצעי הצפנה : רכישה, שימוש או החזקה של אמצעי הצפנה, אם המכירה או ההעברה של אמצעי הצפנה, לאותו אדם, נעשו לפי רשיון. Which means that if you bought F-Secure SSH in Israel then you can use SSH as long as you like. Which also means that if you download OpenSSH from the Internet and there is no legal representative of OpenSSH makers who has License from Israeli goverment then you CANNOT use it. Which brings me to the next question: Is there theoreticly can be a legal representative for Open Source program that has no legal body behind it ?
