[field #13]                  Summary: Multiple licensiong issues
[field #14]      Original Submission: Hello!
While trying to submit mldonkey package into Fedora Linux, we found some licensing issues:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=452584

========================
There are some licencing issues with the sources detected by
licensecheck.pl
script (from Debian). Please notify upstream about them. I've looked at the
problematic files (with UNKNOWN licences) and found two notable issues:

/src/utils/lib/md5.{c,h} are under Zlib licence, so you need to add "Zlib" to
the License: tag.

./src/utils/lib/md4.h is under a licence I wasn't able to identify which
doesn't explicitly give permission to distribute modified versions which seems
to make it non-free. I'm blocking FE-Legal pending legal review.
========================

See attached log:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=325313

Please, add necessary licensing headers where possible.

Hello!
Sorry for the long-delayed answer - it seems, that I mislead you a bit. More experienced developers from RedHat checked the situation and said that everything OK even w/o these patches. So, I think we may simply close this issue.

I think you should apply these patches anyway.

Is the Zlib license in src/utils/lib/md5.{c,h} a problem?

Please note that I am not a legal expert:

./src/utils/lib/md4.h is covered by a license mentioned in RFC 1320

Perl module Digest::MD4 also uses this code, they say about it:
http://search.cpan.org/~mikem/Digest-MD4-1.5/MD4.pm#COPYRIGHT

This copyright does not prohibit distribution of any version of Perl containing this extension under the terms of the GNU or Artistic licenses.
