Well, it would probably only be hard because nobody had done it
before. Once the right incantations for OpenSSL were figured out, it
could be made an option in omniORB's SSL support, so using it would
only require a few lines of code.

They seem to have it dual licensed under a BSD-like license and a
commercial license. As far as I can see, it's perfectly fine to use
the free version in a commercial product.
