You don't need permission to link OpenSSL, however, you cannot
distribute the resulting binaries. Sorry, but that's what the GPL says. Nothing
prevents a product covered by the GPL from using OpenSSL. However, because the
two products have incompatible licenses, each has to be distributed under its
own license. If you combine them in an inseparable way, the result is not
redistributable.
