Jeremy, you go get a clue.

http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#LEGAL2

Clearly states

2. Can I use OpenSSL with GPL software?



On many systems including the major Linux and BSD distributions, yes (the 
GPL does not place restrictions on using libraries that are part of the 
normal operating system distribution).
On other systems, the situation is less clear. Some GPL software copyright 
holders claim that you infringe on their rights if you use OpenSSL with 
their software on operating systems that don't normally include OpenSSL.

If you develop open source software that uses OpenSSL, you may find it 
useful to choose an other license than the GPL, or state explicitly that 
"This program is released under the GPL with the additional exemption that 
compiling, linking, and/or using OpenSSL is allowed." If you are using GPL 
software developed by others, you may want to ask the copyright holder for 
permission to use their software with OpenSSL.
