Right. But the policy itself still makes a lot of sense (IMHO), and it can be useful for more libraries other than OpenSSL. Hopefully OpenSSL will re-license soon to Apache 2.0. Then it may [1] be "only" incompatible with GPLv2-only software. But in the worst case, it will be compatible with GPLv2+ and GPLv3.
