I don't see why it is not allowed. It is true that OpenSSL is
distributed under a dual license that is not compatible with GPL.
However both of its licenses are BSD-style Open Source licenses and
therefore linking against the library should be allowed, just as it
was allowed to link against libraries distributed under the original BSD
license with the ``obnoxious BSD advertising clause''.
Anyway, my proposition is that we should forward this question to
<address@hidden>.
