Public bug reported: For unified MIT-based code licensing, lib/tool/checksum.c has to be rewritten. This is my suggestion on how to proceed with rewriting this piece of code, feel free to comment. ipv4_checksum() and ipv6_checksum() can be replaced with the following BSD-licensed code: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet/in_cksum.c?rev=1.10.10.1.4.1;content-type=text%2Fplain http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/netinet6/in6_cksum.c?rev=1.19;content-type=text%2Fplain We need to include some header definitions and align the code with our code conventions as described in doc/HACKING. The FreeBSD code can be retrieved e.g. as follows: svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/ I believe we can keep checksum_ip() which is from RFC 1071 section 4.1. hip_checksum_packet() has to be rewritten from scratch because it was borrowed from OpenHIP which is based on GPL. ** Affects: hipl Importance: Undecided Status: New -- licensing and lib/tool/checksum.c https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682323 You received this bug notification because you are a member of HIPL core team, which is subscribed to HIPL.
