Hi.
I'd like to ask if there was any progress on this. I'd like to package
ipv6-toolkit but the licensing of oui.txt is "unclear" (to say the best).
there's "progress" in the sense that licensing terms for ieee data are
not still clear
Some say that it is not copyrightable for being a list of facts [1],
others say that databases are copyrightable in some places [2], and some
claim to have written to the IEEE and received a negative permission on
redistribution of the file [3].

What if this package downloaded the data live from the Internet like the
flashplugin-nonfree does?
