Very few stayed in main, but you can check the exact numbers yourself.

Mostly due to SSLeay/OpenSSL being compiled with IDEA support, IIRC.

I am not entirely convinced that it is correct to knock SSLeay/OpenSSL to non-free merely because of a patent (the holder of the patent would have us believe it is valid worldwide, which is BS, since no such thing as a "worldwide software patent" exists).
