Pity the MySQL folks; Progress Software were the ones who encouraged them to switch to the GPL in the first place, and when that relationship went bad, they fell right in with the FSF. Switching to YaSSL is going to cost them when it comes to DoD use of MySQL, since some gutsy folks at the Defense Medical Logistics Standard Support program are going through FIPS 140-2 validation on OpenSSL with financing from the usual suspects (mostly IBM and HP); see http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7644 .
The implementation of SSL in the Netscape NSS libraries is available under the GPL, and I believe certain versions of it have FIPS validation.
