Hi.
The Module itself is fine
| Copyright (C) 2002-2005 Nigel Wetters Gourlay. All Rights Reserved.
| NO WARRANTY. This module is free software; you can redistribute
| it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
But it relies on database-files which were derived from various
sources:
APNIC looks dfsg-free:
| The files are freely available for download and use on the condition
| that APNIC will not be held responsible for any loss or damage arising
| from the application of the information contained in these reports.
ARIN data isn't:
| The ARIN WHOIS data is for Internet operational or technical
| research purposes pertaining to Internet operations only. It may not
| be used for advertising, direct marketing, marketing research, or
| similar purposes. Use of the ARIN WHOIS data for these activities is
| explicitly forbidden.
--> no Free Redistribution (i also don't like spammers)
--> Discrimination Against Persons or Groups
--> Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor
RIPE is the same:
| Except for agreed Internet operational purposes, no part of this
| publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or
| transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical,
| recording, or otherwise, without prior permission of the RIPE NCC on
| behalf of the copyright holders.
LACNIC:
someone on LACNIC states that the raw data, that is used in the
database is unrestricted... (see CHANGES)
AFRINIC has teh same policy as RIPE.
so... that leaves us with a module we may distribute, and data that
couldn't be part of Debian...
comments?
