some are X11-style licenses (i.e. the api itself by alex et al. is
declared such iirc)
some are GPL'ed (the cryptoloop module I (re)wrote) or the twofish
implementation taken from the gpg project...

some are BSDish... and some others are public domain..

btw, do we really need everything to be GPLed? i.e. the patented algos
might not be gpl'able... but I'm not sure right now...
