I fail to see the violation, or how changing the download page could
fix that. The download page is *not* "advertising material mentioning
features or use of this software". In fact, the download page doesn't
refer to SSL at all. Hence there is no obligation to mention OpenSSL
on the download page.

Likewise.

This doesn't apply: we don't include any code (Windows specific or not)
from the apps directory.
