Comment (by vbraun):
The license issue is that Sage hosts the openssl spkg, not whether or not
there is a make target. I can see three options here:
* get rid of the openssl spkg.
* add a openssl license exception to the notebook.
* modify the openssl spkg to only install if the openssl library is
installed on the system.
While quirky, the last option might be the easiest way out. Gnome links to
openssl, so unless you really know what you are doing the openssl library
is installed. The problem for Sage is that the development headers are
generally not installed in a end-user setup. So as long as we intend the
openssl spkg to simply be a way to get the devel headers without
administrative privileges then we could still claim the system library
exception.
