    Wikipedia summarize well the patent status of Camellia and why it can be included in Open Source projects like VeraCrypt:

    Patent status

    Although Camellia is patented, it is available under a royalty-free license.[5] This has allowed the Camellia cipher to become part of the OpenSSL Project, under an open-source license, since November 2006.[6] It has also allowed it to become part of the Mozilla's NSS (Network Security Services) module.[7]
