 I didn't find a bug report mentionning this request. Is there a place
 mentionning it where progress to review the licensing could be posted?

There's nothing public about this. The only feedback is by the recent
reject of the later versions of the package from NEW (where it ended up
because of the package rename).
I've asked for additional details, but I wouldn't recommend holding
your breath until more info appears.

Please note the changes I've already done in the package git repo on
alioth collab-maint. More improvements are probably needed until
we reach a good enough state though.

 
 I'm willing to help on this point. I might have some time this WE to start
 looking at it.

Thank you very much for your interest in helping out!

 
 Best regards,
 
 Thomas

Hello again!

Given the very positive response on my RFH I'm following up
with one more wish I forgot to mention.

If you are interested in learning more about the advanced networking
features provided by the linux kernel. Want to get into the gory details
and learn stuff that not many other people (who aren't kernel hackers)
know about. Why not take on the task to look at improving the
manpages for iproute2?
There are many bugs collected about pieces of information missing from
manpages in the debian bug tracker at http://bugs.debian.org/src:iproute

Start investigating, see what you find, try out stuff document
your results in the manpage for everyone else to enjoy!
