Indeed it does not.
Algorithm Patents are applicable in most of the world, hence I can
write and use such code (even if they patents were enforcible here,
they would have to be applied for in this country).
For example, RSA can't be used freely under many circumstances in the
US, but can elsewhere on the world - including Australia.
