Rachel,

mail-notification is GPL'd, while OpenSSH and Apache are released under
more liberal licenses.  The problem isn't with OpenSSL per se; it's with
the combination of OpenSSL with a GPL-covered programme.

That said, GPL'd software may be combined with OpenSSL _if_ the
software's author adds an exception to the license allowing linking with
OpenSSL.  mail-notification's author refuses to do that.

At least, this is the way I understand the situation.  IANAL and all
that.
