is able to create a Non-GPL implementation of the Double Ratchet will not
fail to do so just because of a missing XEdDSA implementation. It takes
more to implement ODR from scratch than just putting together a few
primitives. I wouldn't say XEdDSA is the easiest part of that but it
certainly isn't the hardest. See it as a quality control; If someone fails
to implement XEdDSA they probably shouldn't implement ODR.

cheers
