Nice work. Is it fair to ask for even a ballpark answer on what the licensing story will be?
Windows Client Access Licensing is annoying, but they have some web exception for web servers. SSH remote access is a whole new ballgame! I assume it is encouraged for one-at-a-time administrator use in much the same way Remote Desktop currently works, but even that isn't really communicated clearly yet (even from a high-level perspective).
It seems like getting the plans out there as soon as possible to begin collecting feedback and managing expectations is going to be win-win for everyone.
I don't have a good answer for you right now, but we're tracking it here and I'll be responding back here with some info when I have it: https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/issues/926
Don't worry, you'll also be able to license your OpenSSH server per core (minimum 4 per-core licenses).
I'm joking.
