Makes absolutely no difference in this case. Go to openssh.org and
you will see that openssh does not use the GPL.
========================================
This file is part of the OpenSSH software.
The licences which components of this software fall under are as
follows. First, we will summarize and say that all components
are under a BSD licence, or a licence more free than that.
OpenSSH contains no GPL code.

========================================
And it continues on - you can got to www.openssh.org and read it
for your self. That code is wide open to do anything you wish,
except remove the copyright statements, and if you change anything
to make it incomaptible you can't call it ssh or Secure Shell

But not for SSH.
Try another piece of software for your argument to use as an
example.
