    Are url-https.el and ssl.el really specifically designed to call
    encryption routines?  I thought they only run some external communication
    program which happens to use encryption.

I am not sure whether this makes a difference.  I had better get legal
advice about this.  Could someone describe for me the overall
structure of the situation, so I can ask about it?

      Much like Tramp.

I don't know this case and the Tramp case are similar in the way
that matters legally.
