ssh 1.x is usually used because neither 1.x or 2.x are really free software,
but 1.x's license at least allows for non-commercial use in a commercial
setting. The 2.x license states that any use in a commercial setting
requires purchasing a $500 license. Hence the lsh and OpenSSH projects. This
will probably keep 2.x from ever really catching on outside universities.
