LUKS Cryptography Support

[Michael Gorven]

Hi

I am currently adding support for LUKS encrypted partitions to GRUB2. Although 
I'm far from finished, there are a few issues I'd like to address.

1. I am using the crypto patch submitted by Simon Peter[1][2]. Are there any 
plans to integrate this patch, or should I resubmit it as part of my patch?

2. If I am to submit Simon's patch, what remaining issues are there with it? 
If there is a problem with the license of the ciphers I can replace them with 
suitable implementations.

3. What licenses are suitable for integration with GRUB? Most of the ciphers I 
need are available in libgcrypt[3], which is copyrighted by the FSF and under 
LGPL 2.1. I am currently using some other code which is under GPL 2 
however -- what is the situation with that?

Regards
Michael
