I was more concerned about the effect of the OpenSSL license in linking. Right now this has become a large issue in gnupg, because gnupg was changed to link to libcurl for it's backend url engine, and libcurl may either be linked with gnutls or openssl. The problem was if libcurl happened to use openssl as it's back end, then the licensing of gnupg, which has no exception and does not advertise openssl the way openssh does, is said to no longer be legally redistributable in combined source/binary GNU/Linux distributions. My concern is that if we change the licensing to add an exception for openssl linking, would we cause similar issues for things later built with libccrtp? This was the issue that concerned me.
