--- Comment #15 from Benson Muite <benson_muite@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
>> a) Maybe a comment is needed in the spec file that the patents are no longer enforced?

> I don't think it make sense to document the past ;)
> I also think there is a bug confusion between patent and license on this algo
> and "patent" are not allowed in Fedora
> But if you think this is a blocker I can add something

The file LICENSE-OCB.md is packaged, but based on explanation here and on
GitHub,
the correct situation is that that particular block encryption algorithm is
no longer patented, so the information in LICENSE-OCB.md is inaccurate.
Upstream will probably change something in how this is documented.  It is not a
blocker, but some comment may remind one to do an appropriate update on the
next
release. Probably the file should be named PREVIOUS-PATENT-OCB.md rather than 
LICENSE-OCB.md, but unclear what the upstream project will do.

>> d) Should obsoletes thunderbird-librnp-rnp be indicated?

> Not needed (both can be installed)
> Rather to be obsoleted by thinderbird if they choice to use it
Ok. Great it does not conflict.
