Hello,
I'm writing to you because you wrote the module in subject. Trying to include
the patch for this module into the Debian package for john, I encountered some
issues:

 1) no copyright years are given.
    Since a patch cannot convey timestamps information, I cannot infer those
    from anywhere. Please provide one or more years, or a range;

 2) no licensing statement is made.
    Please choose a DFSG-free license to ease inclusion into Debian. Also, you
    might want to ask for inclusion upstream, and that has additional
    requirements:
    	http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-john-devel/2009-January/000232.html
    Also Public Domain is fine, but please clearly state it.

  3) I suppose you're the copyright holder for doc/HDAA_README as well, but I
  cannot include it until I'm sure. So please clearly state this as well.

Please remember to keep the list CCed, so that we can have a public record of
our mailing.

Kindly,
David Paleino
