From the PGP documentation: "Network Associates INc. may have patens and/or
pentding patent applications covering subject matter in this software or
its documentation; the furnishing of this software or documentation does
not give you any license to these patents." Does anybody know what that
refers to?

Probably just standard boilerplate. They are just putting you on notice
that by publishing their source code they are not giving up any rights
that the may hold on the code.
