Hello,

I am starting to package the SNMP++ library
(http://www.agentpp.com/snmp_pp3_x/snmp_pp3_x.html), which has its own
license. I would say the license is DFSG-compliant but I would like
confirmation. Please read it and tell me what you think. Thank you.

This is the license:

============
SNMP++v3.2.22

This software is based on SNMP++2.6 from Hewlett Packard:

I'd say it's free. The last sentence seems like an interesting
phrasing of a copyleft clause.
