    Subject: java.cyrpt

I downloaded some source code for the MD5 algorithm and at the top it
states it belongs to the "java.crypt" package. I also noticed that this
code was simply a port of the RSA's original C source (although the
required RSA copyrights were absent). I need an MD5 algorithm for a
java program I am working on, so I was wondering:
1) Is there now or will there ever be a java.crypt package as part of
the JDK?
2) If not, can this MD5 code be used in a commercial product with
license fees? I should add that the original RSA C code (which I have
used in other products) could be used in commercial products, but the
standard Sun source header mentions only Non-commercial products.

Any information would be appreciated. I would really like to avoid
having to port RSA's C code especially when it would ultimately be
almost identical to Sun's port.

Thanks,
Dave Castell.
