If we find an algorithm in a paper, can we use it in Freenet? The reason why not would be that if it's been published there is an excellent chance of it being patented - either by the researcher, the university, or even by somebody reading the paper (though in the last case it would be invalid).
We should probably assume that IPRED2 doesn't pass for the purposes of this debate, as that would make it more or less impossible to do any non-hobbyist non-megacorp programming.
