Is the Md5 license compatible with Boost?
Found this Boost::Md5: http://www.garret.ru/~baranov/boost_md5/lib/md5/md5.html Is this going to be a part of Boost? Is the Md5 license ok for Boost at all? /$

AFAIK we're not accepting new libraries unless they use the Boost license. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com

I was thinking of the license of the algorithm itself, in my second question. Can anyone implement Md5 under the Boost license? Is there another similar algorithm in Boost, that is completely free? Can it give 128 bits? /$

Sure anyone can implement it with a Boost license... Just as long as they don't refer to the RSA code and implement it from the RFC like <http://sourceforge.net/projects/libmd5-rfc/> -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim - grafikrobot/yahoo

Where is that written down? At least CVS version of lib_guide.htm: http://boost-consulting.com/boost/more/lib_guide.htm#Requirements does not say that. - Volodya
