The OpenSSL license is an old-style BSD type license with the
advertising clause, which I understand to be incompatible with the GPL.
That's part of why some programs are moving to the (LGPLed) GNU TLS
library instead.

If it requires random services to link or include the code, it should
probably be BSD (non-advertising clause).  Otherwise, things like Oracle
won't be able to start at boot.
