OpenSSL so far is patent free and probably will remain generally so unless
some hotshot chooses to try to patent something which has already been
done - but they don't know about. This has happened - I have examples.
RSA's stuff is patented in the US only and it expires as you say in Sept.
Thus - if you simply exclude it then you are fine (Use blowfish or DSA) -
or if you use it outside of the USA then you are fine and finally - just
wait until September.
Good luck.
