The core of trisquel use OpenSSL as Ubuntu do.
Maybe we should not stand from them and switch to LibreSSL
or GnuTLS
that sounds more accurate.

Maybe LibreSSL will turn out to be a better choice than OpenSSL in the future, but keep in mind that this fork of OpenSSL was made for practical reasons, to make the codebase cleaner so that bugs like Heartbleed can be spotted more easily:

In any case, there's nothing ethically wrong with OpenSSL. GnuTLS was developed because OpenSSL's license causes practical problems,[1] particularly an incompatibility with the GNU GPL. LibreSSL, incidentally, isn't going to be able to fix this.
