Hi all, Because of copyright issues OpenSSL is being built with -DNO_IDEA. IMHO it's bad to do this for all systems, as it's only limited in some countries. What I'm wondering if we could do is to add a COUNTRY=whatever, which could be used to look up a value in a file which could provide information about patent issues for algorithms like IDEA, as well as be a nice index to which ftp server to use by default. Another thing to consider is adding a COMMERCIAL=[yes|no], which could also help sorting out patent issues. Just some thoughts...
