On this topic, have our legal advisors re-evaluated the ECC patent
situation lately? The last patent listed in
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/openssl//blob/rawhide/f/hobble-openssl
supposedly expired in 2020, yet we're still doing a lot of patching of
ECC stuff in the spec. Are there other patents not listed there which
we're still worried about?
