Off topic but can you explain the exception? I had a look at OpenSSL's license and it seems pretty open.

tl;dr: A conjunction of two old licenses, resulting in the advertising requirement that "every occurrence of the license with a different name required a separate acknowledgment", which is incompatible to GNU GPL.
