I was thinking on packaging honeyd [1] a small daemon to simulate servers and create a virtual honeynet. I'm, however, not completely sure the license is DFSG-free.

But 3 (and advertisement clause) I'm not sure about. I've searched the list but havent't found any information on wether advertisement clauses are ok or not. The latest license mentioning an advertisement clause [2] wasn't turned down because of this. Should this go to non-free or free?
