 I am not a lawyer, but with my very limited understanding of licensing
 issues, run-time OpenSSL support would not solve the license issue.[[BR]]
 That is, if I understand the [https://lists.macports.org/pipermail
 /macports-dev/2016-December/035032.html MacPorts ML] and
 [https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.en.html#GPLStaticVsDynamic GNU FAQ]
 correctly.

 Just for the sake of completeness, here is a discussion of the
 [https://people.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html OpenSSL and GPL
 conflict].
