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.
