ffmpeg: binaries no longer distributable, due to rav1e; openssl11 now in play

[mascguy (Christopher Nielsen)]

With the addition of dependency rav1e, ffmpeg +gpl2 is no longer distributable:

$ ../macports-infra/jobs/port_binary_distributable.tcl -v ffmpeg
"ffmpeg" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with license "OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl11"

Meanwhile rav1e has no lib/runtime deps, and a non-conflicting BSD license:

$ port info rav1e
rav1e @0.5.1_1 (multimedia)

Description:          the fastest and safest AV1 encoder
Homepage:             https://github.com/xiph/rav1e

Build Dependencies:   cargo-c, nasm, rust, cargo
Platforms:            darwin
License:              BSD

Ultimately openssl11 appears to be coming from rust and cargo, which both have lib deps on it. But should that license be propagated to downstream ports that build with them?

rav1e is also distributable, which makes this even more interesting:

$ ../macports-infra/jobs/port_binary_distributable.tcl -v rav1e
"rav1e" is distributable

That's a *really* far connection from openssl11 to ffmpeg... I doubt it would really affect anything. But that said I don't know a lot about licenses, better ask the experts.
