You might check out SafeTP:

http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~smcpeak/SafeTP/

I haven't used it, but it looks interesting for two reasons:

1) You can choose not to encrypt the data channel (e.g. encrypt 
authentication data only)
2) It uses a proxy that installs into the TCP/IP stack to intercept 
outgoing FTP traffic, whereupon it takes over authentication.  This means 
it works with any FTP client on supported operating systems, apparently at 
least windows and unix.

I didn't see any specific reference to licensing but it appears to be open 
source.
