One more approach - i was thinking was - can we package/include the complete cygwin already [which already has older openssh version in bin folder] installed folder to our tool exe without any modification? Does it involve any violations for Cygwin GPLv3? Do we need to include source code as well? Or can re-distributing an already created cygwin folder can be done with freedom without any issues?
