Gilles commented on RNG-85:
---------------------------
The algorithm is described in [a paper|https://arxiv.org/pdf/1704.00358v3.pdf],
so an implementation "from scratch" is possible.
Also, it's not forbidden to use the output of a GPL program, for any purpose
(i.e. also testing a port that will be under a different license).
Unless I'm mistaken, the algorithm for creating good seeds is not explicitly
laid out in the paper.
bq. How to make this compliant with the Apache licence?
Should be asked on the ML, for confirmation of what the next step could be
(e.g. ask the author to provide a specific authorization (?)).
