Follow-up Comment #5, task #14426 (project administration):
First, I may be wrong, but I think NodeJS is not an interpreter of JavaScript,
it's a library.
Then, when you distribute NodeJS as a whole, OpenSSL already applies to it
(with other licenses for other parts of its code), you needn't even to
actually run anything; so it mustn't matter whether the user invokes any parts
of the code.
If developers of a package using NodeJS believe they don't need OpenSSL and
don't want to be bound by its license, they could eliminate OpenSSL
dependencies from NodeJS and use the modified library instead.
