Please provide the source documenting this copyrite/license change.  I
took a look at DJB's site and found no indication of this change, nor
has there been any discussion/announcement on the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
mailing list.  DJB has been very clear for years about the software
being public domain, but that redistribution of binaries is a completely
different matter [0]

In the last 6-9 months of multiple direct emails, bug reports, etc., I
have received a single reply from Adam without any follow-up to
subsequent messages.  I had intended to work on an eventual sponsored
NMU, and would be quite happy to help a fix up djbdns-installer.  I
asked around on #d-mentors, sent a detailed email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
on 08/20/2007, and basically got a casual OK to hijack the package.  If
you want to hijack djbdns-installer, I would be grateful to have a full
DD as maintainer, so I can help out without asking for random
sponsorship.  ;)
