Argh! Debian technicalities at its finest :) I do not really care about 
the license attached to my "work". Most of it is just copy and paste 
from the main program, with some small changes. Anyway:
* I'm the original "author" of sha.h
* I'd like stuff I wrote to be GPLv2, and I'd grant a less restrictive 
license to Solar in case he wants this upstream. I wont elaborate too 
much on this, as I think it is highly unlikely.
