Doesn't the international kernel patch also include one way hash code
suitable for cryptographic purposes, e.g. for SHA1? There are no export
restrictions on one way hashes.

AFAIK, that goes for MARS and RC6 as well; I don't know about RC5. Given
that all of them were AES candidates, you may want to browse around
http://csrc.nist.gov/encryption/aes/ to see if the statements of their
authors regarding intellectual property issues are still available; they
include details on patents.
(The AES requirements were that the cipher selected _once selected_ could be
used without intellectual property hassles. The IP holders of the other
ciphers aren't obliged to release their IP).
HTH,
