Hi, @chandlerc,

I am so sorry I did not notice that Unlicense is actually complicating the situation. I regard it as public domain because projects like Go includes it as a derived work without mentioning the original license. That is being said, I totally agree that one should be careful about the Unlicense after reading through the stackoverflow discussion.

I will try to reach out the board. Meanwhile, I saw previous issue discussion at WyHash repo that the author intended to set their code completely free -- assuming they are still holding this intention, I will also try to reach out them to see if they are willingly to do multi licensing.

I ping you here just because I saw that the hash function in LLVM was maintained by you. If the worst case ever happens, is it possible to port the code in llvm library into libc library and use that instead?

@sivachandra, @michaelrj, I apologize again if I have added any complication to your work. Thanks for the reviews.

Yifan
