Hi Dominik, did you think to use Crypto++ instead of OpenSSL? http://www.cryptopp.com/
It has almost all features of OpenSSL and it isn't under GPL. Where do you use OpenSSL in the new version of PoDoFo? I'm still using my modifed version of 0.9.2 and I don't see any reference to OpenSSL. I can help you in adding Crypto++ in PoDoF too.
