[boost] sha-1

Hi,

I am looking for an implementation of the sha-1 algorithm that I can use 
for the guid library that I am writing.  Since I hope to submit this to 
boost, I need the sha-1 code to conform to the boost license requirements.

I have found http://www.packetizer.com/security/sha1/.

Here are the contents of the license.txt file:

Would this license prevent the guid library from being accepted as a boost 
library?  If so, does anyone know of code for the sha-1 algorithm that 
would not prevent the guid library from being accepted as a boost library?

Thanks in advance,
