Wes Miller, Research VP at Microsoft [1] answered my similar question
on the PowerShell/OpenSSH github project [2].

Basically, an OpenSSH server (PowerShell,Cygwin and any other[3]) fall 
under the same restrictions as other remote access types.

For windows "server" editions: CALs required for all users connecting to 
SSH.

For "desktop/client/home/pro" editions: governed by the same limitation 
as remote connections. Only one user at a time (and likely only the 
"Primary user") can access the machine remotely.

[3] different vendors do not alter the answer (e.g. Microsoft program vs 
cygwin program): https://twitter.com/getwired/status/923643485911224331
