OpenSSH for Windows update

Is this not what midipix.org intends to do? Granted, they're nowhere near close to being finished at this point in time, but it would be great to see the project pick up steam in this space.

midipix looks awesome, but seems to be GPL (not LGPL). Does that mean anything using it must be GPL too? I think that would be unacceptable for such a low layer of the stack.

I don't know why you're being downvoted, but this is a legitimate concern for some businesses (well, legitimate may be too strong, but it is a concern a lot of legal departments will have).

After discussing this issue on #midipix on freenode, they had mentioned they will explore dual-licensing or some variant of such once the software is more stable and can be reliably deployed. In any case, the project is far too early in its infancy to start worrying about what license they might have.

The longer a project proceeds, the harder it is to get developers' permission to change licenses.

I don't understand the point of dual-licensing. Anything licensed under a BSD-style license such as ISC or MIT can to my understanding be redistributed under GPL anyway. IANAL, TINLA.

Thanks for mentioning it. I check their website occasionally and hope that it'll be a reliable and sustainable alternative.
