I found DPMIONE here:
https://github.com/sudleyplace/DPMIONE


The license says it is GNU GPL version 3:
https://github.com/sudleyplace/DPMIONE/blob/master/LICENSE


However, the owner of that GitHub repository needs to do some cleanup.
There are "All rights reserved" messages throughout the documentation
and code, and "All rights reserved" is not compatible with the GNU
GPL. Although it is clear that the intention was to release everything
under the GNU GPL, I think Bob forgot to clean up the source files.

To prevent confusion, someone there needs to clean it up -- or someone
else needs to clean it up for them and make pull requests to fix it.
For example:
