>1. What should NO_RSA do?
Ideally, there should be two flags. Perhaps for
clarity, they should be
NO_RSA_CRYPTO
and
NO_RSA_DATATYPES
where
#if defined(NO_RSA_CRYPTO) && !defined(NO_RSA_DATATYPES)
#define NO_RSA_DATATYPES
#endif
I'd like to see NO_RSA_CRYPTO mean that nothing that
violates the RSA patent is included. This means the
crypto code -- essentially stuff in the EVP.
2. What does the RSA patent cover?

I'm not a lawyer. My view is yes.
