Facebook's use of OpenSSL is hardly private, as if I were to use Facebook I would have to interact with their OpenSSL instance/copy/whatever-you-call-it.
No you're interacting with TLS, an open IETF standard protocol that cryptographically will either secure or not the line connection regardless of what's behind it is legit or not. Facebook's public use of TLS front by OpenSSL library or any other implementation of TLS protocol front is private license wise (while perhaps unfortunate bug, market share, or otherwise).
