Is this mentioned somewhere on his website? If it's on his website and
referenceable, I'll add it to the wiki.

It's there in the djbdns install doco, but hasn't yet been added to the daemontools (or ucspi-tcp, qmail, publicfile etc) install instructions:

So if you are ultra cautious, you may feel there is no approved workaround. But I think that DJB's intentions are clear enough. Ask a lawyer if you want a better opinion.

Just FYI, I put a second perl edit in the wiki that modifies conf-cc instead
of error.h. The perl edit adds --include /usr/include/erro.h after gcc

I believe it's "-include".

instead of replacing the entire line so you keep all the other flags. The
echo edit removes existing flags in conf-cc.

The djbdns instructions are:

4. Compile the djbdns programs:

      echo gcc -O2 -include /usr/include/errno.h > conf-cc
      make
