Ah, thanks, I was just about to file a report about it.

Does the BSD-license apply to RFC 2629 (included in the package) as
well?  Presumably all contributors:

   The author gratefully acknowledges the contributions of: Alan
   Barrett, Brad Burdick, Brian Carpenter, Steve Deering, Patrik
   Faltstrom, Jim Gettys, Carl Malamud, Chris Newman, Kurt Starsinic,
   and, Frank Strauss.

would have to agree to that license too, if they contributed a
significant part of the document.
