Ah. Well, then the question is, is that combined program a derived work of the GPLed program? If it consists of two pieces: the GPLed program and the OpenSSL library -- and each exists and is fully functional without the other -- and neither is a derived work of the other -- Then in that case we don't have a derived work, we have an aggregated work or a collected work or some such. -- This space intentionally left blank.
