Why is that?
There is an IETF working group formed (secsh). It's charter says: "The goal
of the working group is to update and standardize the popular SSH protocol".
There are 4 internet drafts available, and I cannot find any statements in
any of those documents about limited freedom of implementation.
Besides, IETF would really not form a working group if it wouldn't be
possible to do a GPL or open source implementation of the produced
specifications.
Maybe you are confusing the secsh internet drafts with licencing statements
bundled with the ssh2 reference implementation available from SSH
