I see. I thought their "open source" patent license might be good
enough, but probably not (for one, it doesn't cover proprietary
applications using nettle, which collides with LGPL terms, and, possibly
less important, it doesn't cover derived works which are hardware rather
than software). Latest of the mentioned patents (8321675) seems to be
applied for in 2011, so I guess it won't expire for quite some time.

So I agree we can't use it without some possibly painful legal work.
