The IDEA algorithm is patented, but I don't think Mike included
that in his builds. You can configure Stunnel to only use specific
ciphers, in which case you wouldn't be using it regardless. Does
that make it legal? Consult a lawyer. Software patents suck.

I'd download the openssl.exe and the libs and run 'openssl.exe ciphers -v'
and see exactly which ciphers it includes and avoid any from which your
legal team suggess you run away.
