So you have an e-mail message from one of the authors of the code.
Andy Polyakov wrote most of the code but there are probably other
contributors who never gave explicit consent for using their code
outside of OpenSSL.
The only contributions to that file in OpenSSL that isn't from Andy
are a whitespace fix and the addition of the licence :-)

If that makes you feel better we could undo the whitespace fix :-)

I've checked the other PowerPC related files in there and the situation
is identical (aes-ppc.pl does have also a spelling fix in comments).

At this point, it's pretty clear that this code is authored solely by
Andy who gave permission to use it.

Cheers,
Ben.
