You don't state your reasons for believing this is where it belongs :-(.

And I know have another big problem with the code in there.. it is
GPL'ed and not in the gnu subdirectory :-(.  [Read copyright on fcrypt.c,
went and read eBones/docs.original/README :-(.

Also does this code come with eBones?  Should this could be maintained
on a vendor branch?

That would make libdes GPL'ed.  Sorry, I can't go for that...

Makeing telnet and other bits of code GPL'ed :-(.

Stop the GPV (Gnu Public Virus or something like that) :-(
