Ok, you seem to be arguing that the distinction is that clause 3 of the 
openssl license (the "advertising clause") applies to the GPL code as 
well, and is therefore in conflict with the GPL, while clause 2 (the 
standard BSD license reproduction clause for binaries) applies only to 
the BSD portion of the code and so in *not* in conflict.

Is that correct? And if so, I still don't understand what language 
distinguishes the two cases. Is it the reference to 'features' in the 
advertising clause?
