I see, the thing is that ngspice is actually reporting a BSD license on its web site : http://sourceforge.net/projects/ngspice/
inside thae package however it has alot of different original packages ... like the original Berkley liense (which ceased to maintain publicly in the eighties or early nineties), a different license for xspice (also part of the build) and one of the continuations of ng-spice ... people say that ng-spice may even turn into tclspice so which of these licenses are the one to choose ? or are all of them correct ? It is still possible to package for contrib ... right ?
