To all,

Has RSA allowed a royalty/payment free use of the Triple-DES algorithm for
use in the OpenPGP standard?


No, they haven't. On the other hand, since they have utterly nothing to do
with Triple-DES, there's no need for them to. Triple-DES is a completely
open algorithm, which is why OpenPGP, as well as many other IETF standards,
use it.
