  34 <PRE>The copyright notice on the md5 hashing code used in ircservices does
  35 not grant a licence to redistribute modified versions. The clause about
  36 mentioning &quot;RSA Data Security, Inc.&quot; looks GPL-incompatible to me as
  37 well. The same code was removed from Apache last year:

  40 Please review this patch (against 5.1pre1) to port the md5 code to an
  41 implementation licensed under a revised-BSD-style licence, found at:

  44 I have tested it briefly, and it seems to work.
