That's weird on a system where OpenSSL is part of the base distribution...
(well crypto but it is indeed on the OS CD's and installed by default on

I would hope that the OpenSSL authors would give explicit permission to
use the library in GPL products, but I'm guessing that would be too much
to hope for...
