The license is GPL, except that he also requires you email him if you
make changes as well, rather than just requiring you to publish the
changes.
I personally am getting a bit annoyed at it; it frequently blocks or
spins, causing congestion on the monitor pipe. When it does this, diald
gets less responsive for taking the line up or down.
Admittedly, this seems to happen most when my ISP becomes less than
responsive (and it's usually a block, so the computer resources aren't
hosed), so if your ISP is pretty good, it shouldn't affect you that
much. I'm now trying out how it works with IP names turned off, to see
if that improves things. If that works, I'm considering making a patch
so that it won't hang on a DNS request; it'll instead display the
numeric until the name comes in.
However, I remember trying this before, and it only helped some of the
time.
