Commercial-licensed MySQL binaries use OpenSSL; GPL-licensed MySQL
binaries use yaSSL.  Some downstream forks and/or distros may be less
concerned with license incompatibilities between GPL and OpenSSL.

I agree that this is a MySQL-focused question rather than
OpenSSL-specific issue - help can be found on forums.mysql.com, or email
me directly.
