The OpenSSL compatibility layer is also licensed under the GPL, not under the LGPL, making it unsuitable for use by libraries -- only by applications. Indeed, this makes it all but useless, period, since most applications that use OpenSSL directly already have upstreams who *endorse* linking against libssl, and who therefore are willing to grant license exceptions for the purpose. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
