There seems to be a misunderstanding here. The issue wasn't aircrack-ng taking code from Pyrit, it was aircrack-ng distributing src/sha1-sse2.h and src/sha1-sse2.S without any copyright attribution nor licensing terms. Pyrit in turn took these files (or parts thereof) from aircrack-ng a long time ago and added its own modifications. When I addressed this issue, Pyrit's upstream simply contacted the listed authors of the files and confirmed licensing under the terms of the GPL-3+, with an OpenSSL linking exception -- all within 48 hours. One of the authors apparently already replied[0], but the reply was incomplete as it does not mention an OpenSSL linking exception. I added exact instructions[1] to the upstream ticket in the hope that they finally resolve this issue. The literally have to just copy/paste my mail template and contact the authors. Having upstream do this directly (instead of us contacting them) is IMHO the only correct way to go. Having us act as an itermediary just complicates things unnecessarily, and the issue is trivially easy to resolve.
