Hi Sebastien, You cannot copy and paste LGPL code into a BSD project. Even if the code was trivial, you need to look at the code and at least retype it in again so that you can say "I never copied and pasted non-BSD code ever". That might be important later for commercial entities that audit for those sort of things.
Note that you'll want to factor out jcifs.util.DES and jcifs.util.MD5. Both of those are standard with the builtin Java implementations now. But you will need to do the key adjustment where it finagles the parity bits (actually if you do this, send the patch back to me. I'd like to get rid of those deps).
