Follow-up Comment #2, task #10138 (project administration):
Thanks to your reply, Mario.
I'll use the win/md5.c file, the public domain one, as per your suggestion.
> In GNU Savannah we host only GPL-compatible (With
any present or future version) material
I saw "Modified BSD License" is still an option. Would it be OK to release my
project as "Modified BSD License"? Reason follows.
As for crc32.c, the zlib crc32 function *can't be used directly* since it is
using the 0xFFFFFFFF pre & post condition --

However, I've found a good alternative, even faster than zlib's --
Slicing-by-8 CRC32 Implementation

However, there is no copyright and licensing info in source. I've written to
the author since, but haven't get reply yet:

Subject: Your Slicing-by-8 CRC32 Implementation
To: address@hidden
Hi Brian,
I'd like to borrow your Slicing-by-8 CRC32 Implementation and use it in my
open source project, which is pending to be hosted on http://www.nongnu.org/.
(my current one there is http://www.nongnu.org/qdiff/).
I need your written permission in doing so, and your copyright and licensing
info as well.
Moreover, I don't know how much your code depends on Intel's Implementation.
I mean, I took a look at their copyright and licensing:
* Copyright (c) 2004-2006 Intel Corporation - All Rights Reserved
*
* This software program is licensed subject to the BSD License,
* available at http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.html
and hope you release your code in BSD License as well.
Thanks
