Is it perhaps time for the project maintainers to author the definative
"Why OpenSSL is not GPL Licensed, and why it will not be" (not argumentative
diatriabe, just simply stating the facts)?  Post this on openssl.org and
offer inquiring minds a pointer?

This is getting silly when 30 days can't pass without folks using OpenSSL's
dev list to wax Ptoemaic about the virtues of BSD and GPL schemes.  Better
to let the license warriors find other homes for this neverending debate?

I think Winsock is an obvious counter-example - it is clearly BSD-derived, and they have no problems modifying it and staying far away from the original source tree.

As a consumer of the Winsock 2.2 MS-enhanced API in the APR compatibility
library and Apache httpd, I assure you we thank goodness for that :-)
