As you know, the GPL is incompatible with the OpenSSL License. But there is a work around by add the "Open SSL exception" to the licensing, as described in https://people.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html.

Would it be possible to add such a exception, this would help us to fix a release-critical bug in the Debian package, as wolfssl is currently not available, but openssl would (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=924848)

Many thanks for considering!
