So, I assume that this license is compatible with the GPLv2?  

Andy released this code under the cryptogams license:

# ====================================================================
# Written by Andy Polyakov [off-list ref] for the OpenSSL
# project. The module is, however, dual licensed under OpenSSL and
# CRYPTOGAMS licenses depending on where you obtain it. For further

Yeah, this license statement is already in the file being patched, so
why is the above license (and Copyright notice) being added above the
existing one?

The license is GPL compatible:

Good, thanks.

ALTERNATIVELY, provided that this notice is retained in full, this
product may be distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public
License (GPL), in which case the provisions of the GPL apply INSTEAD OF
those given above.

Which is not in this file or the patch, but presumably in the referred
to web page.

Of course, I am not a lawyer :-)
