What I'm saying is that we should be looking at (open) alternatives to OpenSSL, like GnuTLS for example.

It's not about open vs closed or "all code has bugs", it's about the OpenSSL project needing to rethink their security strategy and general guidance.

GnuTLS does not use an acceptable license. Apache/BSD/MIT please. It's the only way you'll find it replacing OpenSSL everywhere.
