More importantly in my mind, I find it difficult to imagine at this point that
OpenSSL will verifiably be able to obtain a CLA from every person who has
*ever* contributed to OpenSSL code.

But I agree with others that if you can somehow manage it, then choosing
something (L)GPLv2 compatible would be vastly better.
