Yup that is most distro trick: considering openssl is part of the system 
lib of the operating system and invoke the corresponding GPL exception to 
link GPL stuff to it.
 
If our binaries already depends on openssl being installed, which I don't 
find really satisfactory, let it be and sotp the madness.
Not that if we want to ship binaries without this dependency it is not that 
hard (conifgure curl properly and a 10 line patch to R which won't support 
https).
