File main/sha1.c has this license notice:

  • This document and translations of it may be copied and furnished to
  • others, and derivative works that comment on or otherwise explain it
  • or assist in its implementation may be prepared, copied, published
  • and distributed, in whole or in part, without restriction of any
  • kind, provided that the above copyright notice and this paragraph are
  • included on all such copies and derivative works. However, this
  • document itself may not be modified in any way, such as by removing
  • the copyright notice or references to the Internet Society or other
  • Internet organizations, except as needed for the purpose of
  • developing Internet standards in which case the procedures for
  • copyrights defined in the Internet Standards process must be
  • followed, or as required to translate it into languages other than
  • English.

To my understanding that means you can extend, but not modify the text/code in this file. This makes it non-free.

It looks like this code was copied straight from RFC 3174. I found a discussion [2] on debian-legal from a few years back that says that RFC texts are non-free (except for the first 1000 or so). A summary about copyright on RFC Editor [3] says that derivative works are allowed, but doesn't go into detail.
