Um, this is the wrong way around.

OpenSSH 2 does support both SSH1 and SSH2 protocols, some way they worked
around the licensing problem (I don't know the details), but it's
distributed with BSD license. 

SSH2 has better handshaking and key exchange, it's also more optimized in
file transfers and especially tunneling.

I use SSH2 whenever I can, I however can receive a number of copies I
like for free as long as I work here (F-Secure corp). Actually I could
have a short talk with our sales/marketing dept, The Greywolves got their
server license and a bunch of clients this way.
