+ PATENTS
+ -------
+
+ Various companies hold various patents for various algorithms in various
+ locations around the world. YOU are responsible for ensuring that your use of
+ any algorithms is legel by checking if there are any patents in your country.
+ The file contains some of the patents that we know about or are rumoured to
+ exist. This is not a definitive list.
+
+ RSA Data Security holds software patents on the RSA and RC5 algorithms.  If
+ their ciphers are used used inside the USA (and Japan?), you must contact RSA
+ Data Security for licencing conditions. Their web page is
+ http://www.rsa.com/.
+
+ RC4 is a trademark of RSA Data Security, so use of this label should perhaps
+ only be used with RSA Data Security's permission. 
+
+ The IDEA algorithm is patented by Ascom in Austria, France, Germany, Italy,
+ Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the USA.  They should
+ be contacted if that algorithm is to be used, their web page is
+ http://www.ascom.ch/.

+ SUPPORT 
+ -------
+
+ If you have any problems with OpenSSL then please take the following steps
+ first:
+
+    - Remove ASM versions of libraries
+    - Remove compiler optimisation flags 
+    - Add compiler debug flags (if using gcc then remove -fomit-frame-pointer
+      before you try to debug things)
+
+ If you wish to report a bug then please include the following information in
+ any bug report:
+
+    OpenSSL Details
+    - Version, most of these details can be got from the
+      'openssl version -a' command.
+    Operating System Details
+    - OS Name
+    - OS Version
+    - Hardware platform
+    Compiler Details
+    - Name
+    - Version
+    Application Details 
+    - Name 
+    - Version 
+    Problem Description
+    - include steps that will reproduce the problem (if known)
+    Stack Traceback (if the application dumps core)
