I would never use PGSQL over the internet directly though it could be tunelled over SSH if necessary. OSCAR SSL access is executed by Apache (which in this case acts as a front end to Tomcat) via mod_ssl, Apache's interface to OpenSSL. From and end user perspective, SSL is achieved by accepting the certificate in your browser (as you haven't purchased a Verisign or Thawte certificate ;)...need more info?
OpenSSL is free; the licensing really only comes into play if one is distributing software that uses OpenSSL. ... info on OpenSSL/GPL licensing: http://www.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html
