That's true. It's Unisys that holds the patent, btw.
The patent on bzip is moot anyway, as bzip2 does not have any patents
on it. It should go to main. I think we should discourage the use of
bzip by not having it in the archive. Someone mentioned that there
was a bunzip which could go to non-free?
