I checked the license for 'libcrypto.so' on my phone, which is on
Android 11. And they are not even using OpenSSL anymore, but instead
BoringSSL. So, maybe there is some intermediate version of Android
between 7 and 11 that uses OpenSSL 1.1.1 (released September 2018).

Or, maybe we can move these packages (openssl-1.0 and these Android 7
packages) to guix-past. Or maybe someone has some other ideas.
