They've always been slow, even when licensing was not an issue.

OpenSSL is not GPL3. They still shipped a very old version, then apparently switched to LibreSSL... and promptly shipped an old version of that.

They lag. Licensing is an issue for a subset of tools, but lagging is very much an issue for all of them.

Thanks for the correction. Indeed, OpenSSL is not under the GPL.
