I was thinking about adding an 'arp' tool to our toolbox. Any objections to including such a tool?
None. For inspiration, we could base it on an existing implementation, if that is acceptable? Plenty of code in InetUtils appears to come from BSD already, judging by the license headers. Running 'pdiff' on these files show that they have diverged somewhat: If I could pick, I'd prefer a clean reimplementation. But if the choice is between a GPLv2+ and mBSD licensed arp, I'd prefer the mBSD licensed arp, since that would keep the license history cleaner we haven't included non-FSF licensed GPL programs before and I'd like to keep it that way.
