But then either *-SNMP has a license that complies with the OpenSSL
license, or they have the same issue we have. Either way, we have a
problem.

I asked the Net-SNMP developers about this and they replied:

  "OpenSSL and Net-SNMP both use a BSDish license, so there is no
    conflict on our side."

Their license actually has 5 parts and is available at:

Comments?
