Are you sure? The only licensing information I can find is in
socketcand.c, and it says:
* Authors:
* Andre Naujoks (the socket server stuff)
* Oliver Hartkopp (the rest)
* Jan-Niklas Meier (extensions for use with kayak)
*

So the license is either GPLv2 or BSD-3c.

Dear Thomas Petazzoni, No, I am not sure. And I agree with you, the license information for this package is scarce and confusing. Arch-linux distribution tagged it as GPLv2 [1], and the package maintainer did not seem to disagree. This is why I went with GPLv2. Would you prefer we did not add license information at all?
