Thank you; it was a helpful read. I looked at a few of the source packages which depend on libssl. The copyright file for vsftpd has: > As copyright holder, I give permission for vsftpd to be linked to the > OpenSSL libraries.

Which I assume is acceptable for legal purposes even though this exeption appears in none of the source files. http://people.debian.org/~bap/dfsg-faq also implies putting the exception only in the licence is ok, so I will suggest that to the author of the software.
