OpenSSL isn't compatible with the GPL. We do care because GPL
applications link against libpq and therefore can end up linking against
OpenSSL. I don't believe it was the OpenSSL advertising clause that
caused the XFree86.org fork. My vaugue recollection is that XFree86
changed their license to include something like an advertising clause
and that's what cause the split.
