--- Comment #10 from rhtse tse@ribose.com --- A heartfelt thank you @fedora@famillecollet.com @benson_muite@emailplus.org @rfontana@redhat.com from the RNP team. We would be more than happy to incorporate any recommendations or suggestions directly upstream so as to simplify unnecessary processing.
The LICENSE-OCB.md file used to provide documentation for users who had concerns with using OCB mode which was (back then) a patented mechanism, however, the OCB patents have since been abandoned. The patent owner Prof. Rogaway has stated here (https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/cfrg/qLTveWOdTJcLn4HP3ev-vrj05Vg/) that OCB patents are now in the public domain.
The file now acts more of an acknowledgement for Prof. Rogaway's kindness early on to make OCB available for RNP users.
