Thanks for pointing this out and sorry for the wrong depiction.
Nevertheless, I think it would complement pdns-tools, especially
dnsbulktest.

Thanks for the heads-up.
This has changed in the version provided at akamai´s github
repository[1]. As far as I can see, all relevant files have a license
headers and a LICENSE file is provided. Unfortunately the tar.gz[2]
provided at the URL I mentioned in the original post is an old version.
It seems that the version has been updated from 2.1.0.0 to 2.1.1.0g in
version.h. The RELEASE_NOTES have not changed and are still describing
2.1.0.0. There have been a lot of formatting changes and some small
functional changes in the code.
I also wrote an email to Akamai, expressing my intent to package. I am
currently waiting for a response.
My current approach is to mirror the version from Akamai´s repo[1] on
salsa and add the relevant changes for packaging there. With a later
update, I would include patches from other forks on github, after
reviewing them.
This would change the fields in the original post to:
Version: 2.1.1.0g
URL: https://github.com/akamai/dnsperf
kind regards, Stefan
