Is distribution of this package a GPL violation?
Let's consider what program?
As I understand it, there's unlikely to be a problem unless the
originally GPL'd plugins are accessing the OpenSSL library's functions

certain. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html might help you, or
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if there's a GNU package involved.
