There is a non-GPL version by Peter Deutch of alladin.com which
just requires acknowledgement and carry through of notices.

There are others too.

I made a c++ class out of it, which is handy to use. I used that
to make an ls-like utility that lists md5's and file paths, optionally
recursively through directories. It's fairly fast.

My point is, there is non-GPL code out there ;-)
