Hi all,
I'm reviewing dnsperf package - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467798. Licence of code is written only in source code itself:
... * Copyright (C) 2004 - 2008 Nominum, Inc. * * Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its * documentation for any purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, * provided that the above copyright notice and this permission notice * appear in all copies. ...
What should be correct licence tag? The licence is BSD compatible so can I recommend BSD licence tag?
Regards, Adam

Assuming _all_ the source files carry the notice, this is not a problem, things become a bit murkier when some files are missing the notice, but usually you can assume they just forgot to add it to those files. (What _is_ a problem, though, is when some sources include some conflicting or non-Free license.)

This sounds like a variant of the MIT X11 license, so it should be: License: MIT
