I don't see a license conflict, nor a requirement for an exception (see below),
but INAL (I'm Not A Lawyer). If you have a specific license conflict you can
point me to then please re-open this bug and cite it, otherwise for the time
being I'm going to close this.

2. Can I use OpenSSL with GPL software?

On many systems including the major Linux and BSD distributions, yes (the GPL
does not place restrictions on using libraries that are part of the normal
operating system distribution).

On other systems, the situation is less clear. Some GPL software copyright
holders claim that you infringe on their rights if you use OpenSSL with their
software on operating systems that don't normally include OpenSSL.
