If you mean OpenSSL is GPL compatible this is wrong. It has a BSD
style advertising clause. If you search the wine-devel archives I have
brought this issue up before as a GPL/LGPL incompatibility.
Technically its still LGPL compatible as you can link LGPL with
anything but it invalidates the GPL compatibility section if you build
your winelib applications with OpenSSL enabled wininet. This is a
minor issue for the ReactOS guys and as such is one we would like to
see fixed rather than having to fork so +1 on moving to NSS or GNU
TLS.
