I believe that you at least missed that statically linked ffmpeg, ffprobe etc. do not follow the openssl requirement of printing those messages and are thus at least not redistributable.
Even if that was not the case, it is at the very least confusing when --enable-gpl gives neither a sub- nor superset of the features without.
