  Well, I thought I yanked the code. I noticed yesterday that I seem to have
not done so. I think my command silently failed. (due to -f)
  I will yank things at 3pm Wednesday.
  The list is:
	rc2  (trade secret of RSA)
	rc4  (trade secret of RSA)
	rc5  (patented in the US by RSA)
	rsa  (patented in the US)
	dsa  (patent claimed by RSA in the US)
	idea (patent claimed in a dozen European countries)

  Are there other things that are intellectually encumbered in any place
in the world?
