Yeah this part too...

"c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it."


... oh wait, that's the GPL. Oh, and you can't use OpenSSL with GPL
programs because of the licensing. Licenses that say you have to use
compatible licenses.
