Dear debian-legal readers,
upstream (http://www.internet2.edu/performance/bwctl/license.html)
provides the following custom license in their software that I'd
like to see in Debian:

Most of it should be ok but I'm not sure about the "enhancements" paragraph.
Does anyone know if this would be ok for inclusion into Debian?
