Hello!

The OpenSSL licence will change from 3.0.0 onwards
(https://www.openssl.org/source/license.html) but you are right that
for version 1.1.1 the SSLeay clause applies. MySQL and MariaDB has the
OpenSSL exception, and YaSSL has been used due to earlier
interpretation by non-maintainers that it might be needed, but
currently I think using OpenSSL is the right thing to use, just like
upstream MariaDB uses as well.
