As usual, recall that there are patents on both RSA and IDEA; use may be restricted as a result, especially inclusion for the purposes of redistribution. The FreeBSD port is careful to download RSAREF to satisfy at least a few of the RSA clauses; I think 3DES is now the default not IDEA in the port but I'm not sure off hand. Fortunately, the RSA patent expires RSN (yay!).
