Hi, the OpenSSL ./. GPL problem (if one sees it as a problem) is larger than just libpq5: just looking at a small sample of the direct rdeps of libssl1.1, one can find the following GPL-licensed programs linking it:
cryptsetup, wesnoth, mydumper, mupdf, gatling, kopete Also amanda-client, validns as they contain patches in d/patches licensed under the GPL. There are probably lots more, especially when you start looking at libraries (and their whole dependency trees). There is also cups which was reported to switch to Apache-2 which is also GPL-2-incompatible... That has lots of rdeps too (including for example all GTK applications). Fedora treats OpenSSL as a "system library"[1]. I would guess they might do the same for libcups too.
