The license on the 2 asm files from openssl the explicitly states:

        @ ====================================================================
        @ Written by Andy Polyakov <ap...@fy.chalmers.se> for the OpenSSL
        @ project. The module is, however, dual licensed under OpenSSL and
        @ CRYPTOGAMS licenses depending on where you obtain it. For further
        @ details see http://www.openssl.org/~appro/cryptogams/.
        @ ====================================================================

If you follow the URL for the CRYPTOGAMS license and read the actual license
at the end of the file it is very clearly dual licensed.  So I think it is
ok :-)

Cheers,
