Updated patch:
- fixed commit message
- moved to python-crypto.scm
- removed needless linebreak
- updated description
- updated licensing to public-domain/cc0
- clarified additional licensing in comments

Hopefully that covers everything.


live well,

+platforms and produces digests of any size between 1 and 64 bytes, and
+BLAKE2s, optimized for 8- to 32-bit platforms and produces digests of any size
+between 1 and 32 bytes. BLAKE2 supports keyed mode (a faster and simpler
+replacement for HMAC), salted hashing, personalization, and tree hashing.
+Hash objects from this module follow the API of standard library's hashlib
+objects.")
