Know that one. The author, Patrick Flinn, was the attorney for Cylink (and
Stanford University, I think) in the long RSA/Cylink litigation over the
viability of the RSApkc patent.
In some corners of the industry, Mr. Flinn is remembered as the f

It is my understanding that you can have patent protection or
copyright protection, but not both. So... I believe that what is

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thing you missunderstood. The URL you gave
tells us what is needed now, not what will happen after the patent
expires, which was the posters question. If RSA labs can enforce a pa
