Slightly easier than manually trawling source packages, but anyway: http://walrus.rave.org/source/search?q=&defs=&refs=&path=md5.c&hist= source.debian.org is a planned service IIRC, maybe whoever sets it up can be convinced to run LXR or fossology on it to help facilitate such searching. Anyway, Google "md5 public domain" is the best way to find a free and GPL-compatible MD5 implementation. Whether or not it is the best implementation (speed-wise, etc) is another matter. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
