Well, AppGate is not my company in the sense that I do not own it. I just
work here.

Nothing much will change for the ssh1 applications. They are and will
continue to be available under GPL, hopefully we will be able to
offer commercial support for people needing it.
However most development resources will be concentrated on mindterm2 which
supports secsh 2.0. The exact licensing for this is still a matter of
discussion inside AppGate. Currently it looks like it is going to be free
for non-commercial use and non-profit organizations (for example
educational institutions and hospitals), but not for commercial use.
However this might change in the future (towards a more relaxed
licensing).
