Hi,

Keep up the great work. I was looking for an LGPL-2.1 crypto library
that can be used as an alternative to libgcrypt. Reason being can best
be explained at [1].

So here are some questions I have. GNU Nettle is going to stick with
LGPL-2.1+ correct? I ask this since I'm currently working on
implementing full RAR archive support with libarchive, to ultimately
be used in XBMC Media Center. XBMC is GPL-2+ and we have no desire to
go to GPL-3.

Another question, the only thing I see missing in nettle that
libarchive can make use of is RIPEMD-160. In case I want to submit
patches, I should submit them here correct? Also, I suppose if I
wanted to submit patches, there's no issue in porting code from gcrypt
over to nettle correct? I think it would be easier (and faster) to
reuse the implementation in gcrypt than to implement the algorithm
from scratch.
