That's the license for OpenSSL 3 and later.  Earlier OpenSSL versions use a 
BSD style license.

OpenLDAP is a BSD style license and fully compatible with either OpenSSL 
licenses.

There is currently no OpenLDAP release with OpenSSL 3 support (although 
this should be fixed in the next 2.6 series release).  However other 
components that OpenLDAP depends on may also lack OpenSSL 3 support (such 
as cyrus-sasl).
