I don’t think OpenBSD is clamoring for code contributions from the companies with proprietary SSH forks. Just money to support continued development.

Seems like a poor choice given that projects like MongoDB try out AGPL for this reason and then later switch to nonfree licenses like SSPL. OpenBSD is not interested in that—whether its attempts to raise funds through goodwill work out or not, OpenBSD will always be free software.
