The below reference clearly states that GPL-2.0-with-OpenSSL-exception
is to be used with GPL 2.0 or GPL3.0 and not as a standalone license.
Therefore, update the correct license. Also add LGPL-2.1-or-later as
socat uses it.

Is socat under LGPL? The only LGPL part I could find is some .c code
which is shipped embedded in an android specific shell script - but
maybe I'm searching wrong.
