libslp is not the only one linking against openssl. What is the licence of
libslp itself? GPL?
Let's look at cupsys: some versions were linked with openssl, then some not,
then again, then again not, now trying to use gnutls. Other apps simply link
against it, even now.
IIRC, the following words are the problem:
[...]

* software must display the following acknowledgment:
* "This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project

[...]
* 6. Redistributions of any form whatsoever must retain the following
* acknowledgment:

[...]
I don't see any problem, there. OTOH, I am not a lawyer, either.
