No.
Only the author / copyright owner can do that.

To bundle not, but to write GPL licenced documentation based on it. And our
documentation is GPL licenced...
But anyway, I dont think Debian Edu should ship low level firewall scripts
based on iptables. Thats way too complicated and error-prone. Instead I'd
suggest we use a shorewall based solution.
Description: Shoreline Firewall (Shorewall), a high-level tool for configuring
Netfilter
Shorewall allows you to describe your firewall/gateway requirements using
entries in a set of configuration files. It reads those configuration files
and, with the help of the iptables utility, configures Netfilter to match
your
requirements.
.
Shorewall supports a wide range of router/firewall/gateway applications,
traffic shaping and almost every type of VPN.
shorewall - Shoreline Firewall, netfilter configurator - transitional package
shorewall-common - Shoreline Firewall, netfilter configurator - common files
shorewall-doc - documentation for Shoreline Firewall (Shorewall)
shorewall-lite - Shorewall (lite version), a high-level tool for configuring
Netfilter
shorewall-perl - Shoreline Firewall, Netfilter configurator (Perl-based)
shorewall-shell - Shoreline Firewall, Netfilter configurator (shell-based)
