Jeremy, you go get a clue.

Clearly states
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.
If you develop open source software that uses OpenSSL, you may find it
useful to choose an other license than the GPL, or state explicitly that
"This program is released under the GPL with the additional exemption that
compiling, linking, and/or using OpenSSL is allowed." If you are using GPL
software developed by others, you may want to ask the copyright holder for
permission to use their software with OpenSSL.

Well, given that you didn't design H323 (The ITU did) or SSL (Netscape did
as far as I remember), and you don't own the patents to g.729 I would say
that you are full of shit and don't have any say in the matter.
That shows how totally ignorant you are. Open H.323, OpenSSL and G.729
are not compatible with the GPL. It has nothing to with who owns what.
Perhaps you need to have Rosenblatt and company READ the GPL to you.
