crypt() for WIN Patch
Hi all,
Recenty the guy asked me is it possibile to use the password database
created on UNIX using default crypt algorithm on WIN platform.
So, here I have a patch that enables this.
It consists of ported glibc crypt and needed diff's to enable the
authorization and password creation.
Any comments?

Isn't this covered by the GPL if it is a ported glibc version of crypt?

can i recommend that people read http://advogato.org/articles/302.html
okay, forget that: summary-time.
basically, adding encyption for the purposes of 'authentication
and authorisation' is legal.
AS LONG AS it does NOT have a 'generic' interface that would
allow it to be used by an inexperienced programmer for
the purposes of encrypting user data.
and to this end, samba has an implementation of NTLM
authentication and NTLMSSP encryption, and password
changing, that cannot be used for 'generic data'
encryption purposes, and it IS legal.

I think we talked about that before and the crypto restrictions on
OpenSSL scared some people. -- justin

You can tell I read oldest->newest :-)
I'm pretty sure I have an older ufc-crypt under a freebsd license, I'll have to
look about. ITMT, I really believe that the SSL library (which nearly everyone
would link in) is probably a better choice, since OpenSSL has the des methods.
Does that sound 'saner' to everyone ... using OpenSSL which we will be using
within Apache (and other foos: daemons or clients) anyways?

Yup. We need either to incorporate ufc-crypt, or crypt() of the BSD license.

LGPL code is not compatible with our license, and can not be included in
code licensed with the ASF license.

It comes from UFC-crypt so I think it's LGPL. I didn't found any more
liberal, and don't feel like writing one :-)
Original License: from glibc-1.09-crypt.tar.gz
UFC-crypt is created by Michael Glad, email: glad@daimi.aau.dk, and has
been donated to the Free Software Foundation, Inc. It is covered by the
GNU library license version 2, see the file 'COPYING'.
and COPYING is LGPL
Some one knows the one that is not GPL or LGPL?

Licensing issues? If it came out of glibc, surely it's GPL or LGPL... no?
