According to [1], MARS is now in public domain. I believe there was a misunderstanding in the past - it was believed that MARS was encumbered so it was [incorrectly] removed by distributions. There was a small discussion on the Crypto++ mailing list regarding Fedora/Crypto++/Mars in June, 2009 [2].
