At which point you should probably just bundle a static OpenSSL with 
AusweisApp2. As unfortunate as it is, there appears to be little other 
choice to keep the package running here, and bundling forked libraries is no 
longer against Fedora packaging guidelines. And there are other packages 
already bundling forked versions of OpenSSL (e.g., Chromium and derivatives 
all bundle some version of "BoringSSL").

And at least the German stuff (and the Italian, Portuguese, and Estonian 
ones) is Free Software. The Austrian ID Austria app is entirely proprietary. 
Though, as far as I know, you can buy physical FIDO2 hardware, then go 
register that with the ID Austria office, and then log in on the ID Austria 
website with any FIDO2 enabled browser and the hardware you bought. But the 
default workflow goes through a proprietary smartphone app.
