Current status of RSA patent...

["Paul S. Penrod" <furballs@netcom.com>]

Can anyone provide additional information on the RSA patent status? 
If memory serves me, it is due to expire sometime in 1997. 

Also, what are the ramifications of deploying software based around it, 
such as PGP 2.62i (from UK)?
