That requires a little consideration. The OpenSSL license is incompatible with
GPL. Since libeventmachine-ruby is dual-licensed with the Ruby License or GPL,
it is available under the Ruby License. However, GPLed applications using
libeventmachine-ruby will not be able to use it any longer.

In Debian, two packages depend on libeventmachine-ruby1.8. They seem to go with
the Ruby License thought.
% apt-cache rdepends libeventmachine-ruby1.8
thin1.8
stompserver


Making a separate library linking with OpenSSL will solve this issue.
