Licence proliferation suggestion: use something similar to the FSF's OpenSSL permission. Here is one from Wget I have here: In addition, as a special exception, the Free Software Foundation gives permission to link the code of its release of Wget with the OpenSSL project's "OpenSSL" library (or with modified versions of it that use the same license as the "OpenSSL" library), and distribute the linked executables. You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of the code used other than "OpenSSL". If you modify this file, you may extend this exception to your version of the file, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version. Not that I think yours is bad, but I think this could be combined with others using the same phrasing more easily. +1 to comments about non-OpenSSL-permitting code uncertainty.
