Qt and SecureTransport vs. OpenSSL

Hi,
Somehow I never noticed this before:
- Qt4 and Qt5 are configured with -openssl-linked to ensure the MacPorts version is used
- this disables SecureTransport support which Qt normally uses on Mac
I guess that using OpenSSL means we get whatever more recent SSL is in MacPorts than the host's SecureTransport layer, and that that's an advantage?
But isn't there a licensing/redistribution implication for binaries that link to OpenSSL?
R.
