I found an implementation of the RIPEMD160 algorithm on GitHub, which I followed when writing my own implementation. Hence, I personally would consider my work to be a modification/derivative of this original. That code is a part of a project which is licenced under MIT:

I ALSO want to publish my code under the MIT licence, and attribute the above-mentioned project. How do I go about doing that in a neat way? What would the licence file look like? Anything I need to add to README.md? Do I have to include anything in the source code files?
