I believe FSF are already doing this.
For instance, see libgcrypt1 and gnutls3.
However openssl started first, so it obviously has the advantage of
being more mature and with more features.
(I am not really familiar myself with the limitations in the GPL code;
however, when I tried it with mutt, it didn't seem to recognize the
remote host certificate was signed by a recognized CA certificate,
unless I recompiled it with openssl).
