That would be nice. That still leaves us with the eap submodules that expect to use openssl directly, though. They are the ones that represent clear problems for binary redistribution, and can only really be solved within the freeradius project (well, or within the openssl community, but as you pointed out, that seems unlikely).
The copyright holders can do pretty much what they want with their software, including distributing binaries that others cannot.
I suggest a debian apt repository on freeradius.org, containing nothing more than the modules in FreeRADIUS that link to OpenSSL.
If that seems like less work to maintain over time than getting an openssl exception granted, I'm sure I can automate something to do that. I think I would prefer a license exception in general, but I am not going to create a fuss over it if you are opposed or feel that it's too much overhead for some reason.
