IMHO neither GnuTLS nor NSS are providing the same like OpenSSL, otherwise we 
wouldn't ship OpenSSL within Core, right? What is the (possible) legal problem 
you are seeing? At least from my personal understanding any binary linking to 
OpenSSL could be illegal when the local law conflicts with encryption. For me 
this sounds similar like at the mp3 stuff...

I'm building per default using OpenSSL, because every Fedora Core user has this 
package installed and it is used by many applications (rpm -e --test openssl).
If possible, I want to cause less new dependencies and I also don't want to 
force FE users to install another package/library when the already available
one does the same.

Blocking FE-Legal now, waiting for official response because of the "probably 
illegal", even when I can't see any real reason. Somebody of the legal people
has to remove this blocking when it's resolved.
