Crypto++ again
Folks:
In this thread:
http://www.geocrawler.com/mail/thread.php3?subject=New+licence+for+cryto%2B%2B+code-base&list=208
It was concluded that Crypto++ contained a non-free file.
The current version of Crypto++, version 4.2, uses a different implementation of
that algorithm. The new header reads:
------- begin included header
// md2.cpp - modified by Wei Dai from Andrew M. Kuchling's md2.c
// The original code and all modifications are in the public domain.
// This is the original introductory comment:
/*
* md2.c : MD2 hash algorithm.
*
* Part of the Python Cryptography Toolkit, version 1.1
*
* Distribute and use freely; there are no restrictions on further
* dissemination and usage except those imposed by the laws of your
* country of residence.
*
*/
------- end included header
So I would like to restart the process of getting Crypto++ included in Debian.
(I am the maintained of a free software project which depends on Crypto++, and
getting Crypto++ packaged would be the first step in getting my application,
Mojo Nation[1], packaged.)
