We'll see just how quickly somebody steps up to the plate. I spent some time taking the original Gladman source into gas format, and have a really ugly (untested) direct conversion if somebody wants to work on it. Side note: Jari Ruusu has himself been distributing the code he now objects to as part of his own linux kernel loop-aes patches. From the loop-aes README: Copyright 2001,2002,2003,2004 by Jari Ruusu. Redistribution of this file is permitted under the GNU Public License. But the original x86 assembler code that is part of that loop-aes patch was copyright Dr Brian Gladman, and was NOT originally under the GPL, so it was Jari Ruusu who originally did something very suspect from a copyright angle. Now he claims he never wanted to GPL it, but the fact is, he's been distributing kernel patches with the code for a long time, and claiming it is GPL'd. So then David and James wanted to include it into the kernel as part of the standard encryption layer, and I said no, since I felt the copyright wasn't clear. So James asked Dr Gladman for permission to dual-license under the GPL, and got it. So I was happy. Now Jari Ruusu comes along and starts complaining about things.
