after disucssing the matter with RMS, GNU Crypto cannot include this 
contribution, nor can it include code derived from its documentation.

please note that this is also applicable to any code that is  
reverse-engineered from any proprietary software.


that was the bad news ;-)  the good news is that --as most of you are 
aware by now-- we're in the process of implementing an all-GNU Keyring 
framework that can be used in preference to the JKS.  Casey is the lead 
designer for this activity, but everybody is welcome to participate in 
the discussions that is currently taking place.


cheers;
