The algorithm is apparently covered +by patents held by Hifn in the USA and Europe though it was written +independently with no help from Hifn or anybody associated with them, +and with no reference to the patents. You might want to consider this +'example' code only if that makes you feel better. + +This package patches the included pppd in NetBSD and thus, in order to +compile this, you will need to have the NetBSD source sets installed. |
