Hello,

I've noticed that the two scripts mentioned in the subject are
probably taken from some external
sources and licensed under different licenses than Memcached itself.

Memcached-init clearly says that it is taken from Debian. It's similar
to /etc/init.s/skeleton on my Ubuntu 9.04,
which belongs to initscripts package and that package is licensed
under GPL3.
Not sure which license applies to the memcached-init, but I suppose
it's either GPL2 or GPL3.

Regarding memcached.sysv, I found a similar script here:
http://killersoft-yum.googlecode.com/svn-history/r24/trunk/repo/SOURCES/memcached.sysv
- not sure who copied it from who, but in case killersoft-yum was
first - it's licensed under MIT license (http://code.google.com/p/
killersoft-yum/ -> http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php).

Can someone responsible for this area comment on the topic?
