Did your download not include a licence?

If not, here it is:

http://www.cryptix.org/docs/license.html

(I'm pretty sure that all downloads from
the Cryptix website are covered by that
licence?  Certainly the basic crypto is.)

Currently, the only licence available is the
one listed above.  If that is not suitable
for business use, I doubt that anyone could
humanly write a free-er one!



PS: I suppose there are two licences, really,
one with the spelling "licence" (British English)
and the other with the spelling "license" (US
English).  I wonder if it would be possible to
invent a message digest that returned the same
hash regardless of location?
