I guess _nobody_ actually _reads_ the LICENSE, since it clearly states
that the version of ssh2 in question is free for _any_ use (commercial or
not) on free UNIX platforms including FreeBSD. The important part of the
LICENSE file is here:

--cut--
To qualify for a Non-Commercial Version License, You must: (1) use the
Software solely on a system under the Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD
operating system (whether for commercial or non-commercial use), or (2)
use the Software for non-commercial purposes as defined herein and be a
Non-Commercial Entity as defined herein, or (3) be an University User as
defined herein, or (4) be an Excluded Contractor as defined herein.
--cut--

Notice the use of the word "or".

I do recommend everyone reads the LICENSE themselves in full, since I am
not a lawyer and anything I say, have said or will say should not be taken
as legal advice in and/or under any circumstances no matter what they are,
where they are, where am I and/or who am I.
