Excellent !

What's the issue here ? I *think* it's alright to write mppc from
scratch - in fact, that's what I'm doing as we speak.
Is the only questionable bit the part of rfc2118 that says
1.1. Licensing
MPPC can only be used in products that implement the Point to Point
Protocol AND for the sole purpose of interoperating with other MPPC
and Point to Point Protocol implementations.

If it is, I believe the only thing that applies to
written-from-scratch code is the first paragraph.
Or are there any other issues ?
