[SunRescue] djbdns, BIND, and DNS Security

[Joshua D. Boyd]

Yeah, well as I said to Greg, I had saying anything about it, but as a
programmer, I'm quite worried about how clashing licenses might expose me
to liability.  I personally prefer GPL and LGPL, but I really don't mind
the other main licenses.  I just don't feel comferteble reuseing code from
other less main streem licenses since I can't afford a lawyer to help me
with excersising due caution.
