John the Ripper Professional copyright and license.

John the Ripper password cracker, Copyright (c) 1996-2015 by Solar Designer. Portions copyright (c) by their respective authors:

The optimized DES S-box expressions (nonstd.c and sboxes.c) have been produced by Matthew Kwan. The corresponding MMX and non-x86-64 SSE2 code (parts of x86-mmx.S and x86-sse.S) is based on Bruce Ford and Rémi Guyomarch's MMX implementation. Some builds of John the Ripper Pro are statically linked against the SHA-1 code from OpenSSL libcrypto, by Eric Young and others.

Relaxed terms for certain components.

John the Ripper is being developed primarily as an Open Source project. Non-Professional versions of John the Ripper, which Professional versions are based on, are free software available under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 "or later" as published by the Free Software Foundation. These versions may be obtained at:

	https://www.openwall.com/john/

In addition or alternatively to the commercial license above and the GNU GPL, the following components are available to you under even more relaxed terms:

As specified in the corresponding source files (nonstd.c and sboxes.c), Matthew Kwan's DES S-box expressions may be modified, redistributed, and used for any purpose, so long as their origin is acknowledged.

A derived version of the bcrypt (Blowfish-based password hashing) implementation found in John the Ripper has been placed in the public domain. This derived version may be obtained at:

	https://www.openwall.com/crypt/

The intent is to provide modern password hashing for your servers and your software (where the GPL restrictions could be a problem).

The NTLM hashes support code (NT_fmt.c and portions of x86-sse.S and x86-64.S as indicated by comments in those source files) have been written by Alain Espinosa and placed in the public domain.

Finally, the CRC-32 implementation found in John (crc32.c and crc32.h) is in the public domain.

Commercial source code reuse licensing.

Commercial source code reuse licenses are available upon request.
