Interesting.

SSH 2.0 has a more restrictive software license than 1.2.26. The paranoid
among us would wonder whether this was a deliberate attempt to convince
people to upgrade to 2.0, incidentally forcing many of them to pay for
the new license.

Nah; nobody would exploit FUD to make a buck, would they?
