There's another possible license issue here, with the license of the included
md5.c file:

/*

which is basically like the BSD license except the wording about "all material
mentioning or referencing" is a bit stronger than the BSD license's 
"in the documentation and/or other materials" phrase. Honestly, I'm a little bit
fuzzy on why the 3-clause BSD license is GPL-compatible but the 4-clause one
isn't, and which category this falls into.
