Comment(by bagder):
datallah: yes it can legally and license-wise be linked against OpenSSL.
The licenses that collide (OpenSSL + GPL) only limits what is allowed to
get distributed so usage and linking is not prohibited in any way, only
distribution.
mback2k: a generic backend could of course easily be made to disable a
specific library, but most likely it would simply mean that people who
build binaries out of a GPL licensed program would simply not select to
build a backend that involves a non-GPL compliance license.
