File main/sha1.c has this license notice:

or assist in its implementation may be prepared, copied, published

kind, provided that the above copyright notice and this paragraph are
included on all such copies and derivative works. However, this
document itself may not be modified in any way, such as by removing
the copyright notice or references to the Internet Society or other
Internet organizations, except as needed for the purpose of
developing Internet standards in which case the procedures for
copyrights defined in the Internet Standards process must be
followed, or as required to translate it into languages other than
English.
To my understanding that means you can extend, but not modify the text/
code in this file. This violates DFSG.
It looks like this code was copied straight from RFC 3174. I found a
discussion [2] on debian-legal from a few years back that says that
RFC texts are non-free (except for the first 1000 or so). A summary
about copyright on RFC Editor [3] says that derivative works are
allowed, but doesn't go into detail.
