Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [ticket:62849 szhorvat]:
 > GPL-licensed ports that depend on Qt are considered non-distributable by
 MacPorts due to Qt being marked with the `OpenSSLException` license.

 No, not due to that reason. OpenSSLException is added to a GPL license in
 a port's license line when that project's license verbiage specifically
 allows a binary to be linked with openssl, which is not normally permitted
 under the GPL. This allows a port to be distributed that would not have
 been distributable before. Adding OpenSSLException removes existing GPL-
 related distributability restrictions; it does not impose them.
