[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#327739: libssl0.9.7: missing idea support

[matthieu castet]

Package: libssl0.9.7
Version: 0.9.7g-2
Severity: normal

Hi,
idea algorithm is disabled.

According to #65368 it is for patent issue.
But since when debian refuse to distribute patented software ?

If you want to keep idea removed, why you don't ask to remove
all patented video codec, ...

Thanks

Matthieu
