At least the three clause BSD license is GPL compatible.
The copy of obsd_rand.c I have hass the problematic 4-clause version.  It looks
to me like we'd need to get Michael Shalayeff, Theodore T'so, and Niels Provos
to all agree to re-license under the 3-clause variant.  Using Arjan's code is
most likely the better approach...

Then we would in that way ;)

Arjan, I will give it a further look, is there anything you want to
comment about it before I start?

I will re-code it to put the helper functions in random.c.

Thanks in advance,
Cheers.
