Just picked up on KernelTrap that there were some problems with optimized AES code; if you wish, I can provide my own LGPL licensed (or I can relicense them for you under GPL), as included in the BeeCrypt Cryptography Library.

I have generic i586 code and SSE-optimized code available in GNU assembler format. Latest version is always available on SourceForge
(http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=8924).

Please cc: me for responses, as I'm not a list subscriber.

Sincerely,

Well, it ended up being that the author that was complaining about license violations allowed Linus to use his code, AND someone else rewrote the stuff not to use the offending code. If you want to help us out, make a kernel patch of your code.
