Hello debian-legal list! I prepared igmpproxy package on https://mentors.debian.net/package/igmpproxy and I was directed here to ask question about Stanford license and igmpproxy. Looks like that same question was already asked in 2009, but it is without answer. Can you look at it?

Because igmpproxy is based on mrouted originally licensed under Stanford and later relicensed under BSD, I would consider it DFSG compliant... Or is there any problem?
