Interesting. It appeared as though the dumped occured at SHA-224. My

I don't believe so. Perhaps someone with more experience can help out here.

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].
