Licensing

Hi Chris. Sorry, I could not find your contact information. What is the licensing for "aes.c" code? I see "Copyright (c) 2013, Intel Corporation, All rights reserved" at the top of the file. Do you know what the source and licensing is for the C code?

The repo is BSD 2-clause, which covers all source files. I'm pretty sure that as long as you retain the provenance info, you can use it for whatever you want.

BSD 2-clause only covers redistribution. What about modification to the source code? All of these are your implementation and how does it relate to Intel?

"Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without
modification,"

So you can use and modify it, and do whatever.

The Intel/Google copyrights are due to the fact that I worked at Intel/Google when I wrote this stuff, and they were paying the EDA tool license costs. So I had to ask permission to publish as open source. Intel asked me to add the DISCLAIMER file, which says this is all just academic.
