I'm almost certain this affects libressl just the same way, probably just noone ever bothered to care. The bindist flags should probably be reviewed and likely removed. According to Wikipedia [1] the last possibly relevant ECC patent is valid until 2020. So 2 more days. There shouldn't be any patent concerns about ECC any more.
