I tested it on a couple of my reference machines: The patch applies cleanly, package builds and works at least on my amd64 and armv7 - well, in the end it's just a perl script ;-) The patches for the previous version which masked some private data (addresses, serial numers) on OpenBSD are not needed any more, since have included upsteam. Versions 1.6 and 1.6.6 seem to report (and send) exactly the same data in my tests - i.e. it seems not to leak MORE private data than before, but since there might be almost unlimited possible configurations, there is no guarantee of course. > A few questions/remarks though: The tool is dual-licenced BSD-4/LGPL- > 2.1+.

ACK. David agreed to take maintainership, so I guess you will post a new patch with that line changed? Otherwise, it'd be OK from me
