Camellia is freely available on several licenses (BSD, GPL, MPL).
IDEA's patent has expired (2011 un Europe, 2012 in Japan+USA).
RC4 is an RSA trademark, no patent has been asked on the algorithm itself.
RC5 is still patented, by RSA.

In OpenSSL(README File, openssl version-0.98x), there are 4 patented
algorithms RC5, RC4, IDEA, Camellia out of which RC5 and Camellia are
disabled in Configure file.
In README file, for RC4 we need to take RSA Security's permission.
IDEA algorithm is patented by Ascom and they should be contacted if
that algorithm is to be used.
Here I have queries:
1. In OpenSSL RC4 and IDEA are not disable so do we need to take
separate permission to use them?
if yes, then do you have any idea as to how to get the permission?
please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks,
Sarju
