No the license is false, lintian is right.
"The implementation of the US Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1) in this
example is derived from the original description" under license.
Legally you are bind to this license even for code, but fortunatly the
"The Internet Society" allow you according to
http://trustee.ietf.org/license-info/IETF-TLP-4.htm to implement the
code under bsd licence (#4).
Thus lintian is right to warm you, the license if false in this case.
So please:
- patch the previous file to correct the mistatement about the code
license (it is under BSD).
- provide an override.
Thanks
