I would think that the explicit "Don't use with GPL"-clause is mostly meant as a warning that the GPL doesnt allow linking with OpenSSL and not a "We don't like GPL'ed programs"-clause. The only mentioning of the GPL I can find in /usr/share/doc/libssl0.9.6 is that you can't relicense OpenSSL under other licenses, _not even GPL_. An by reading the FAQ at openssl.org it seems that they don't have problems with the GPL but know that the GPL has some problem with their license. -- hash-bang-slash-bin-slash-bash
