Hi Richard,
to my knowledge, ntru-crypto is not the same thing as libntru and
this bug report is about libntru :).

This is stil *very*, *very* shady, if you ask me.
For example I went through their "FOSS License Exception" and I read:
"b. The Derivative Work does not include any work licensed under
the GPL other than the GPLed NTRU;"
Does it mean that you cannot combine other GPL software with NTRU?
