linking to libssl makes non free?

[Jiann-Ming Su <sujiannming@gmail.com>]

I was looking in the squid changelog and noticed the following:

  squid (2.5.5-4) unstable; urgency=low

    * debian/control
      - Removed depdendecies on libssl-dev (linking GPL with SSL is not free)
        (Closes: #251988)

    * debian/rules
      - Removed --enable-ssl from configure

But, OpenSSL's FAQ seems to address this: 

  http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#LEGAL2

Anybody have any insight into this?
