Actually we want a library that can work for both our commercially-

currently have OpenSSL integrated with our code and would prefer not
to have to convert over to Mozilla NSS if we can avoid it.
Well, that seems to be the only realistic option for you except or else
then another option like Crypto++.
Would OpenSSL have any interest in _adding_ GPL to their license
offerings (along with the existing, ssleay-related license(s)) in a
dual/multiple-license mode?
Interest certainly. But if your read Richard Salz's message, you'll see
that the problem comes from the libeay code in the core of openssl
that's copyrighted by Eric Young and * *Tim Hudson and will never be
rereleased under a new license.
For some information that gives an hint about why it will never happen,
