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

	@ ====================================================================
	@ Written by Andy Polyakov <appro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> 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,
