If you mean, are the source code files (rsa.c) in GnuPG the same as
OpenSSL? No. Different source code files, different licenses.
<http://www.openssl.org/source/license.html> (OpenSSL)
<http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html> (GnuPG)
If you mean, are there same algorithms in both GnuPG and OpenSSL?
Then yes, they both implement a number of common algorithms,
and as well there is a fair bit of non-overlap (not all algorithms are
implemented in both). E.g. both have RSA, DSA/DSS, AES, MD-5, SHA-1,
and Triple-DES.
