I fail to see the difference between this case and that of RFC1321.
That was also an informational document describing a hash algorithm
originally specified outside the IETF. It also included a reference
implementation, under remarkably similar license terms. It was right to
publish that document in 1992, and it is just as right to publish this one
today.
