Did you look at COPYING?
I did, yes.
As a header above the GPLv2 license:
And in the AUTHORS file it is written that the rest of the program is written
by Nicholas Harbour of the DoD (Department of Defence) Computer Forensics Lab.
E.G. the US Government.
Meaning, it is copyrighted by the US government. But there is no copyright
/protection/ on the software, because it is the US government which holds the
copyrights.
I tend to agree, there should be no restriction on distribution, only a
possible question over it's use maybe in the USA. But that is down to
users to decide, just as with tainted etc.
I have corrected the GPL version - thanks - no idea how that happened ;)
I will await more comments.
