Yes, I found some other users of this as well, but as you
say,
that doesn't necessarily mean its OK to use.

The code seems very similar to the one that is available in
RFC1071. I
recently added initial support for message checksumming to
conntrackd
and used that code (slightely modified) indicating the
source, thus not
explicitely licensing that part as GPL since I don't own the
copyright
of it. Can we consider examples available in a RFC as public
domain code?
