Hi *, what do you make of that? IRRToolSet is the Internet Routing Registry Toolset from RIPE containing very useful tools for admins of autonomous systems. I am pondering packaging it, so I took a look at its license and found that each source file contains two copyright statements and licenses. The copyright is now at RIPE NCC and they have a BSD-style (?) license. But below that is the notice from the old copyright holder (USC) with a license that only allows 'non-commercial' use and is thus non-free. See the complete text below. Now is this software DFSG-free or not?
