Cringely Gives KnowNow Some Unbelievable Free Press... (fwd)

> Isn't Elliptic-Curve patent-encumbered?

I think we went through this a few weeks ago.  Nope.  Fortunately, ECC
per-se is not patent encumbered.  Scott Vanstone makes much of that
in his ECC dog and pony show.  

Of course, free ECC does not mean some nice optimizations aren't
patented.
