The issue with md5 is not licenses, it's security and portability.
That said, your proposal to me qualifies as replacing a widely used and
heavily tested version with one from the zoo of exotic versions that are
floating around.
That said, unless you can provide evidence of the version you are
proposing has a history of being used for many years in major OSes or
applications, I am very opposed to letting this code in.
