Linking GPL and openssl is not allowed due to the advertising clause in BSD. The socat people realized that and say:

license
-------

socat is distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL;
except for install-sh, which is copyright MIT, with its own license;

In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holder
gives permission to link the code of this program with
any version of the OpenSSL library which is distributed
under a license identical to that listed in the included
COPYING.OpenSSL file, and distribute linked combinations
including the two. You must obey the GNU General Public
License in all respects for all of the code used other
than OpenSSL. If you modify this file, you may extend this
exception to your version of the file, but you are not
obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete
this exception statement from your version.

regards,

Koen
