No, as long as it is only included in source form, there should be no problem
(at least the Intel lawyers didn't see a problem with putting patentencumbered

patent compliance on the person that configures Wireshark with that configure
switch - which is basically the same act as putting the (missing) kasumi source
files into your build tree and changing the #define in kasumi.h

Attached is the git head version of mesa's docs/patents.txt

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
