All,
I'm neither a crypto specialist nor a lawyer, but both MD5 and SHA-1 are
ietf RFCs (RFC 1321 and RFC 3174, respectively).
Both RFCs contain full reference source code and licences that seem to be
compatible with Apache (cf. the licensing texts in the respective RFCs).
If the current code in FreeRDP's SSL.c was originally based on the above
code, any significant change might not even be needed...
PhA.

What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!
Read this article and learn how Intel has extended the reach of its
next-generation tools to help Windows* and Linux* C/C++ and Fortran
developers boost performance applications - including clusters.
