LICENSE

GNU GPL, see COPYING. "libtorrent/src/utils/sha_fast.{cc,h}" is originally from the Mozilla NSS and is under a triple license; MPL, LGPL and GPL. An exception to non-NSS code has been added for linking to OpenSSL as requested by Debian, though the author considers that library to be part of the Operative System and thus linking is allowed according to the GPL.

Use whatever fits your purpose, the code required to compile with Mozilla's NSS implementation of SHA1 has been retained and can be compiled if the user wishes to avoid using OpenSSL.

LIBRARY DEPENDENCIES

g++ >= 4.2.1

SIGC++

The API will use sigc++ signals to give the client a simple, yet powerful way of reacting to events from the library. The client can hook multiple slots on each signal and modify the parameters to suit the functions. This avoids lots of unnecessary code in the client.

POLLING

"libtorrent/src/torrent/poll.h" provides an abstract class for implementing any kind of polling the client wishes to use. Currently epoll and select based polling is included.
