Hi,
Quick note about this (or could you refer me to the discussion that I missed). Although I have no problems with explicitly patented code being included with OpenSSL, shouldn't the default for such code be "off" with an explicit "enable-ocb"?
Added support for OCB mode. OpenSSL has been granted a patent license
compatible with the OpenSSL license for use of OCB. Details are available
at https://www.openssl.org/docs/misc/OCB-patent-grant-OpenSSL.pdf. Support
for OCB can be removed by calling config with no-ocb.
