--- Comment #12 from Jack Lloyd <lloyd(a)randombit.net> ---
Upstream maintainer here. I'm not aware of any patents (whatsoever, in any
jurisdiction) on GOST-34.10 signature scheme. Nor am I aware of any (unexpired)
patents affecting the ECC code. Obviously you can remove whatever you like, but
if your legal knows something I don't please share.
I know Fedora previously excluded RC5 and RC6, Botan 2.x doesn't include either
of those anymore (though I believe all patents there have expired in any case).
Only thing added in 2.x that I know is patented is OCB mode, for which there is
a free license for open source code. OpenSSL has OCB as well so I guess you
would just follow whatever decision you made for them.
