Hello,
The next version of SAGE (version 2.5.4) will not include OpenSSL.
Instead it will include GNUTLS:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/
There should be no nontrivial visible change in functionality.
The reason for this change is that the OpenSSL license is not-GPL
compatible because it has an advertising clause and a redistribution
acknowledgement clause.
This page clarifies the issues in case you don't remember what they are:
