Fixed in 5.0-RC1 (now using the GNU libc GPL-licensed implementation).

It looks like you're right. I'll fix this.

I'm maintaining mail-notification in Fedora and the Fedora license gurus found a problem in mail-notification (and some other packages as well) that needs to be fixed/clarified.

The problem is due to ./src/mn-md5.c
and ./src/mn-md5.h
. If you'll take a closer look at them you'll notice that both are using the "BSD with advertising" license, which is GPLv2/GPLv3 incompatible -- but mail-notification is GPLv2 licensed.

I was told coreutils has a GPL compatible implementation that should be a drop in replacement, thus it might be easy to fix this problem.
