That's an orthogonal problem. To be clear: it is a problem for the GPL-2.0-
only code, but it's irrelevant as to whether we accept Apache-2.0 content in 
KDE code.

We already require at least GPLv3 and the v3 is compatible with Apache-2.0. So 
we already have a solution and all compliant code has no problem with OpenSSL 
3.0.
