That still wouldn't be legal, though -- the OpenSSL licence is
incompatible with the GPL, and the result is undistributable, so any
time the KiCad project ships binaries, that happens in a grey area anyway.

Ideally, we'd drop OpenSSL and use GNUTLS -- libcurl can be linked
against GNUTLS, and if we don't use any other crypto functions and only
explicitly link against OpenSSL because it needs special initialization
magic, that would be the sanest way to go.
