OpenSSL = OpenSSL Software Foundation Inc / OpenSSL Software Services Inc (In the US)

OpenSSH = OpenBSD (In Canada).

OpenBSD does maintain a fork of OpenSSL, called LibreSSL.

OpenBSD had a SSL stack too, not bound to US licenses and restrictions on exporting.

Before the LibreSSL fork? I did not know that. They've shipped OpenSSL for as long as I can remember, and then forked it, in 2014.

How long ago was that?

OpenSSL built on Canada was fine. Get NetBSD from US mirrors and you got a TLS-challenged OS until the 00's when the restriction exports on tech 'as weapons' were nonsense.
