I'm not sure there's much point replacing one MD5 function with
a theoretically questionable license with another one which also
has a theoretically questionable license. See
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=293932#85
and responses and note that "public domain" is a rather US
specific idea.
Could be that the license changed since then, because it reads:

* In case this attempt to disclaim copyright and place the software in the

* modification, are permitted.
*
* There's ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, express or implied.
