It would be interesting to diff the hp code against OpenSSH.... Knowing HP my bet is that HP's Secure Shell IS OpenSSH. Heck, IIRC, they even called it that way back when....
From their faq:
"What is the difference between HP-UX Secure Shell A.04.00 and OpenSSH 4.0p1? OpenSSH 4.0p1 is the latest free version of the SSH protocol suite of network connectivity tools. OpenSSH supports SSH protocol versions 1.3, 1.5, and 2.0.
HP-UX Secure Shell is a binary package compiled with support for PAM, gssapi, krb5, libwrap, and no support for Smartcard. You can install and remove HP-UX Secure Shell using the SD-UX utility."
I don't see any reason to complain that vendors actually use OpenSSH code, whatever they call it. The main thing is that we have a good solid ssh implementation running on lots of network kit, rather than 101 vendor implementations each with their own bugs and misfeatures...
