The crc32 code came from linux@horizon.com with the following copyright abandonment disclaimer, which is still in lib/crc32.c: /* * This code is in the public domain; copyright abandoned. * Liability for non-performance of this code is limited to the amount * you paid for it. Since it is distributed for free, your refund will * be very very small. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. */ Thus GPL plus additional rights is appropriate.
