Sam,
I just talked to Jeff on the telephone. The email is from him.
He does wish to release the code under a BSD license.
I have included in the Cc list of this message Jeff, the maintainers of
the upstream ax25-apps, ax25-tools, and libax25 (Ralf and Thomas).
I would expect an email from Jeff (reply all) stating his intention that
the code he contributed to ripdump.c in 4/1993 be released under a BSD
license should be sufficient. It would be good if the email were signed by
a gpg or pgp key owned by Jeff if possible. If something else needs to be
done, someone else needs to let Jeff know.
I want to thank Jeff again for agreeing to release the code under a license
that allows it to remain in the main Debian free software repository.
