[Kea-users] License and

[Ola Thoresen]

IANAL, but...

You are free to do modifications to existing code, You just need to 
_share_ those modifications with your users.

You are also free to create new files - using whatever license you want 
for those files (but you still need to share the source of the 
_original- kea code with your users)

See especially Q9, Q10 and Q11 in fhe MPL-FAQ.
