There is no violation is building the two together for personal/business
internal use.

The problem begins with re-distributing the copy you built. It boils
down to GPL software cannot be distributed in binary form when
containing OpenSSL code.

Neither Squid or OpenSSL licensing has changed in this regard AFAIK.
Squid being GPL2+ has the option that if GPL 3 or 4 etc is altered to
correct that gap we may finally be able to do so.
