Hi Brian,

I suspect this is probably sufficient for Debian's purposes, although I

Not sure either. Probably best to ask them?
Another one exists for non-military software implementations:

Clearly this is not suitable for Debian's purposes, as they prohibit
restrictions on fields of endeavor.
I know. I signed the Debian social contract a while ago as well. This
was just for reference - I'm not sure that license is particularly
useful to anyone.
[0] By "patented algorithms," I mean those that don't grant a flat
royalty-free license. SHA-2 is patented, but available under such a
royalty-free license.
The only problem I currently see is with commercial, military software
or hardware implementations. I'm not sure that is relevant to any
open-source project though. Would be interesting to hear Fedora/RedHat
people comment on this.
