Strictly no, you may NOT include it in anything but something fully GPL
(which OpenSSH is not, it's under a BSD like license). Note that the case
is different if the code is under LGPL, check this. However, if you wrote
the (GPLed) code yourself (i.e. you own the copyright to it) you may
change the license and include it under another license.
