openssl and MIT license ?

[Jérémy Lal <jerry@edagames.com>]

Hi,
i'm the maintainer of nodejs (MIT license), and upstream author announced
he is willing to switch to openssl.
I know there are issues with the GPL license and the openSSL license, so
i wonder if :
- the openSSL license is compatible with the MIT license ? Knowing that
  the code linking to openSSL will be MIT licensed. Some other portions
  of nodejs are GPL.
- the debian packaging work itself is GPL-2, i guess there's nothing wrong
  with that ?

Thanks for any tips,
Jérémy Lal
