I've just asked on #debian-devel and here's what I got:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/05/msg00595.html
http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html

Also if there were some contributions (and according to changelog there
were) you should ask contributors for the change of license.
