Well, seeing how 2.0 is actually a commercial product and supposedly re-written, I can see why they'd want to sell it. If you want to run ssh and don't want to pay for it, you're stuck with the 1.x version. Those that can pay do, and those that don't whine for some reason. It's not like you couldn't take the source to 1.2.26 and alter it now, is it?

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.
