README.ECC has never been part of 1.0.2 and is always part of the the 1.1.0 tarballs; do you have evidence otherwise? I don’t think the team is going to answer any questions beyond what is already in the distrubtuion and website except to say that the license is NOT limited to the FIPS releases.
The OP claimed the file was only in the FIPS tarballs, and not in the OpenSSL tarballs. My questions were based on that. And I would still say that "consult a lawyer" is a useless answer, especially as most OpenSSL users will be in the same legal situation, and lawyers opinions on patent matters are frequently found by courts to be wrong anyway. Saying "in the distribution and website" is also quite vague and thus another example of a non-answer.
