IANAL... I have too much common sense, so I won't argue licences :-) So is openssl already included in the Python sources, or is it just a dependency? I had a quick look and couldn't find it so it must be a dependency. Given that Python is already dependant on openssl, it makes sense to change md5sum to use it. I have a feeling that openssl internally uses md5, so this way we wont link against two different md5sum implementations. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Donovan Baarda http://minkirri.apana.org.au/~abo/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
