That part of the license doesn't actually add anything that wasn't
already there under standard copyright terms.  That part of the license
is from the days when  the codebase was SSLeay, the product of Eric and
Tim.  Years ago.  AT the time, it was not uncommon for someone to "rip
off" open source code and replace it with a "similar" copyright.

We've all become smarter and more law-abiding, so this is less of a
concern.  But it's the original license for some openssl code, so the
openssl folks can't change it.

Fundamentally, as long as you provide appropriate credit, you can do
what you want.
