You just have to love that:

Seriously,
As copyright owners you can rescind license permissions as you wish.

Contact this person:
https://www.irs.gov/uac/Commissioner-John-Koskinen
and give them 30 days to purge any and all use of OpenSSL from the
irs.gov network.
A specific license withdrawal.

You should at least be able to start a useful conversation that way.
