octave: make distributable

As octave takes quite a while to build, I would like to make it distributable.
I have a patch that I believe will allow this to happen.
However, both licenses and the buildbots are bewildering to me.

May I request feedback as to whether this is both correct and legal?

Thank you,
Marcus

1) Add
    configure.args-append --without-openssl
 
2) Add the following code:
    # octave does not depend directly on openssl, but it
    #    is brought in by many of the other dependencies
    #
    # openssl's libraries are never linked into octave
    # openssl's header files are never included
    # the openssl part of Qt is never used
    #
    # similarly for libpaper
    #
    license_noconflict  \
        openssl         \
        libpaper
