Camellia is available IIRC although it is going away. IDEA already went
away in real-world scenarios (but it might be available anyway) and
MDC-2 is something I hadn't heard of before now.
I'm marking this as Invalid because there is no single Status meaningful
here since this mentions three different algorithms and three different
tickets would therefore be needed to properly express the outcome.
** Changed in: openssl (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Invalid

Title:
Some patents have expired but still openssl package does not support
them.
Status in openssl package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: openssl
Is it possible to recompile openssl and libssl with enable-IDEA
enable-mdc2 and enable-camellia
because:
In http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html:
FYI: Patent numbers and expiry dates of US patents: MDC-2: 4,908,861
13/03/2007 IDEA: 5,214,703 25/05/2010 RC5: 5,724,428 03/03/2015
therefore:
mdc-2 and IDEA patents expired.
Additionally the cipher "Camellia":
Royalty Free ===> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camellia_(cipher)
NTT and Mitsubishi have patents and pending patents on the Camellia
algorithm, but allow use at no charge without requiring an explicit
licensing agreement: http://info.isl.ntt.co.jp/crypt/eng/info/chiteki.html
In Fedora 13 "Camellia" is enable in default openssl package.
