Graaah! I hate this, using GPL for essential functionality like message digests. I already killed the GPL-tainted md5 code we had and replaced it with a common public domain implementation. It shouldn't be hard to find a similarly liberally licensed sha1 implementation. If nobody beats me to it, I'll try to find some time for that in the weekend. > You need an SVN checkout of the chicken repository to use this, > because most .meta information for eggs -- such as license and > dependencies -- is stripped out when installed. Cool, thanks for the example code! Mario: Perhaps something like this could be integrated in salmonella? I think license conflicts should be flagged as bugs. We could draw up a license table of what licenses conflict with what other licenses.
