Alex is correct.  I stand corrected.  The header files that are a
problem are part of libssl-dev.  I did a quick read of their copyright
license.  Since it allows redistribution of source and binaries with
acknowledgement, I'm not sure it is really incompatible with GPL,
although their secondary license (yes they have two inconsistent ones)
does not allow distribution under a GPL license.  Still I see no
problem with depending on the package as it is open source.  I agree
that distributing as part of Sage might be a problem.
