First of all sorry for the formatting, I'm on the phone right now.
Second: thanks for digging this issue that much! I have now a quite clear (although I might need to re read something) idea of the issue.
Let's start with the configure option: the problem it's not a technical one. If we forget about possible licensing problems then using the necessary switch is just one upload away.
Now I can't decide whether it's safe or not to use this option license-wide. As I understand this the RT is not the authoritative source for this, but the FTP team.
Even if I'm wrong wrt team's responsabilities, I'm still uncertain wrt the licensing issue. As far as I understand nothing has changed license-wide, so Modestas' reply is still valid.
Sadly I can't also think of a way of marking qt to be rebuilt with some libssl upload without linking to it...
I'm afraid the only suitable fix would be to fix ssl's licensing terms.
