Most of the alternative formulations go for wordier versions, but I
think brevity is better.

I have pondered on this for longer than I thought I would, but don’t 
have a proposal I would be happy with yet.

Thanks for thinking about it. I was hoping the problem of finding a
generic way of putting it would appeal to someone.

Would you mind sharing which others versions you found? Can also be
off- list, if preferred.

Sure, this is the last one I did for the secure boot tools:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/efitools.git/tree/COPYING

This is what GNU did for wget. They really didn't want it in their
licence, so the COPYING file is an unmodified GPL-3.0+ licence and the
exception is placed into every file, e.g:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/wget.git/tree/src/http.c

Stunnel has this:

https://www.stunnel.org/sdf_copying.html

Dejacode (a sort of SPDX look alike) has one from Tideslash:

https://enterprise.dejacode.com/licenses/public/openssl-exception-gpl-3.0-plus/


One of the Linux Distros actually collected a couple of standard forms
(but they look very similar to the wget ones):

https://www.calculate-linux.org/packages/licenses/GPL-2+-with-openssl-exception
https://www.calculate-linux.org/packages/licenses/GPL-3-with-openssl-exception

Trolltech has an elaborate exception clause for Qt:

https://doc.qt.io/archives/4.3/license-gpl-exceptions.html

And, of course, SPDX codifies the openvpn one:

https://spdx.org/licenses/openvpn-openssl-exception.html

These are just the handful I turned up the last time I had to write an
OpenSSL exception.
