Hi,

Pcap4j is MIT with bit of BSD and Apache 2.0 all good. (And their logo is 
CC-BY-4.0 also ok)

libpcap contains a number of licenses including MIT, BSD, dual licensed MIT/GPL 
(which is OK), some autogenerated GPL make scripts (also OK) and some BSD 4 
clause licenses (not OK as that’s Category X). IMO there a good change we could 
get those changed to 3 clause BSD given they are from NetBSD which have 
retroactively changed the license. This has come up recently in another project 
(Mynewt) and there’s an outstanding question/JIRA on legal discuss about it.

Thanks,
Justin
