Then I am really missing the point and I wish it would be stated in
suffient detail for one to be able to understand.
* OpenBSD has the same distribution restraints concerning rsaref we do.
* As an OpenBSD user in the USA, I have the same restrictions that I do
as a FreeBSD user in the USA. Thus the patent issues are the same. I
don't see where any reciprocal rights on patents between the USA and
Canada comes into play here.
While I don't know is how OpenBSD builds the two sets of bits, I do know
how easy it was for me as a user to install 2.6 and get a RSA enabled
crypto lib.
