Tele Danmark changed its name to TDC in 2000 [1]. While I cannot find
any reference to ElTele Ost, "whois eltele.no" (www.ost.eltele.no is
linked from the documentation) says that it belongs to TDC Song which
is a part of TDC [2]. So this changing in copyright is probably due
to the company (or parts of it) changing name.
Another interesting point I just found is this interpretation of GPL
with respect to commercial usage [3]: "You may not sell or use
squidGuard in a commercial software package without a written
agreement with ElTele Øst AS; and most likely with Sleepycat too for
the DB part." I don't know what to make of it, especially since it is
not in the tarball.
