Joe Brockmeier commented on CLOUDSTACK-146:
-------------------------------------------
This appears to be a modified version of the sample configuration that's in the
upstread Debian package for dnsmasq.
The upstream package itself is GPLv2/GPLv3. I touched base with the author
(Simon Kelley) to see if he considered the sample configuration file to be
copyrighted and under the GPL. He has kindly replied that he considers the
sample configuration public domain, and we are "welcome to use it as required."
I'll attach the email to this ticket, but we should be able to consider this
definitively legal to use.
