Sorry, I was not aware this had been discussed. Distributing binaries
with a mix of openssl and GPL code looks like infringement to me. If
there are alternatives to openssl we should be fine. This does not
look like a Debian issue to me. It is about the incompatibility of two
licenses: openssl and GPL.
