With the addition of tcpserver and tcprules to the ever growing list of
packages, I went and looked at their licensing (always of interest). I
was dismayed to find out it was under the same licensing as the other
djb tools (I didn't realize that these were one of them).
According to his page http://cr.yp.to/distributors.html the licenses to
distribute daemontools and ucspi-tcp expires on December 31, 2001 - so
after that date we can no longer distribute the packages or programs
from them.
He also quotes Red Hat's Bernard Rosenkraenzer as saying (on April 16,
2001): "qmail and djbdns are not open source, so we aren't going to ship
them unless the license changes."
I'm not comfortable with his license, and I don't expect that any of
these tools are contained in Debian either, what I consider to be the
purest of "OpenSource" Linux distributions on the planet.
Thoughts from you all? Jacques? Andrew?
