Looks like you’re right. Other projects add a special openSSL linking
exception, but Octave does not seem to account for this.

It seems that the use of openssl in Octave is optional, so we could
probably just remove it. From a cursory look it appears that it is used
for not much more than the MD5 algorithm. Would you like to submit a
patch that removes openssl from the inputs?
It would be good to ask the Octave project if it would be possible to
replace OpenSSL with, say, GnuTLS.
