OK, so what is a distributor to do? ;-)
In short: Is it possible to build OpenSSL without and code that is
patent infringed, and still have it talk to Netscape and M$IE? What if I
did:
./Configure --prefix=/usr --openssldir=%{openssldir} linux-elf \
no-bf no-idea no-rc2 no-rc4 no-rc5 no-rsa no-sha
to get just des/des3, is that enough? (the astute will notice that this
will not build, but hey) It should be ok to leave in blowfish, but
M$IE/Netscape do not have blowfish anyway right?

All I need to know I could have learned in Kindergarten
