The upstream README on GitHub states that "At present, vanitygen can be built on Linux, and requires the openssl and pcre libraries." The INSTALL file lists OpenSSL 1.0.0d as a prerequisite. Some of the includes in the source files explicitly and unconditionally reference headers under the openssl/ hierarchy. I can see where this might not be enough to allow adding the license exception without an explicit statement from upstream, but at least to my eye, it does seem to contradict the notion that "upstream did not link against [OpenSSL]". -- The Wanderer Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with any side of it.
