Hi. Would it be possible to re-license this work to the LGPL, and merge it with gnulib? I will eventually need SHA-2 in some of my projects that is using gnulib, and I want the LGPL license. I contacted FSF earlier to re-license MD5, and that was eventually done, but I'd like to avoid that experience if possible. Since this is a fairly new contribution, I hope the original authors are still responsive. Would you consider licensing your work under the LGPL? > As I'm sure you realize, there's too much duplication > between lib/md5.c and lib/sha*.c.

I think we should have a generic interface, say hash.h and hash_*, that implement all hash algorithms in a flexible way.
