It means that the binary package you downloaded was built with an obsolete 
version of openssl.
There are 3 ways to fix this:
- Recompile licq before installing it (download the "src.rpm" 
  version, run "rpm --rebuild licq-1.0.3-1.src.rpm", then install the 
  package /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/licq-1.0.3-1.i386.rpm).
  This will generate a version of licq that is built with whatever
  version of openssl you have currently installed.
- Use a different binary package that already uses the correct version
  of openssl, such as
  ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/licq*rpm
- Install the openssl095a compatibility package. It provides 
  libcrypto.so.0 and libssl.so.0
  ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/7.2/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/openssl095a-0.9.5a-1.i386.rpm
