Note that the OpenSSL license is in the section of that page outlining licenses incompatible with the GPL. Here's the summary of OpenSSL on that page:
The license of OpenSSL is a conjunction of two licenses, one of them being the license of SSLeay. You must follow both. The combination results in a copyleft free software license that is incompatible with the GNU GPL. It also has an advertising clause like the original BSD license and the Apache license. We recommend using GNUTLS instead of OpenSSL in software you write. However, there is no reason not to use OpenSSL and applications that work with OpenSSL. So, sadly, this doesn't solve our problems.
