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
"RSA Data Security, Inc.
" 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.
