As folks may have noticed, the old COPYRIGHT file was rather old and
hadn't been updated in a while. After conferring with the powers that be,
I've added a new LICENSE file with an updated copyright and license
statement, and also added a partial list of exceptions to the bottom as
there are a few things in the tree under different but compatible
licenses.
Here's the new file:
INN as a whole and all code contained in it not otherwise marked with
different licenses and/or copyrights is covered by the following copyright
and license:
Copyright (c) 1991, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000

Some specific portions of INN are covered by different licenses, usually
more permissive ones. Those licenses, if present, will be noted
prominantly at the top of those source files. Specifically (but possibly
not comprehensively):
authprogs/pwcheck.c may only be used for non-commercial purposes and by
Internet Service Providers and other entities for internal purposes.
See the beginning of the file for full details.
backends/pgpverify.in and frontends/signcontrol.in are under a license
very similar to the above but with UUNET Technologies, Inc. as the
copyright holder. See the end of those files for details.
backends/shrinkfile.c, frontends/scanspool.in, lib/concat.c,
lib/endian.c, and lib/parsedate.y are in the public domain.
lib/inet_aton.c, lib/inet_ntoa.c, lib/memchr.c, lib/memcmp.c,
lib/memmove.c, lib/memset.c, lib/strcasecmp.c, lib/strspn.c, and
lib/strtok.c are taken from BSD sources and are covered by the standard
BSD license. See those files for more details.
lib/md5.c is covered under the standard free MD5 license from RSA Data
Security. See the file for more details.
Please note that the files in the contrib directory are not properly part
of INN and may be under widely varying licenses. Please each file and/or
its documentation for license information.
