At some point the license may be upgraded to LGPLv3. Or dual license LGPLv3 and GPLv2+. The latter, more complex, alternative would be helpful for you, right? > Another question, the only thing I see missing in nettle that > libarchive can make use of is RIPEMD-160.

Copying code from libgcrypt is fine. In general, to make it as easy as possible to integrate patches, it's nice if they include: 1. An authoritative reference for the implemented algorithm. 2. Test cases. 3. Documentation. 4. And then both interface and implementation should try to follow nettle conventions. Regards, /Niels -- Niels Möller. PGP-encrypted email is preferred. Keyid C0B98E26.
