Current status regarding OpenSSL 3.0.0 license?

Hello all,

python-debian utilizes sha1 and sha256 from python's builtin implementation
instead of the OpenSSL ones.

As of version 3.0.0, the OpenSSL project changed their dual license scheme
to Apache Version 2.0. Are the license incompatibility issues still a
concern at this point?

The use-case is for Fedora to implement the
"--with-builtin-hashlib-hashes=blake2" configure option for the python3
package, which essentially disables python's builtin hash implementations
(well except blake2), in order to utilize exclusively OpenSSL. This breaks
python-debian unfortunately though.
