#55994: meson: installs_libs no?

 Keywords:               |       Port:  meson
-------------------------+-------------------
 GPL-licensed ports that build with meson become nondistributable, because
 meson uses python36, and python36 uses openssl, and the GPL conflicts with
 the openssl license.

 {{{
 "ncmpc" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with
 license "OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl"
 }}}

 Does meson install any libraries that get embedded into software built
 using meson, such that they would affect that software's license? I am
 assuming that it does not, and that it should therefore use `installs_libs
 no` to indicate that.
