Thanks for the feedback. Although the restriction "for non-commercial
purposes only" is only on distributing the software and documentation
and not on using it, I guess it is still a no-go? And I assume this also
holds for COPR?

My goal is to package flent, which is also distributed by Debian
(https://packages.debian.org/sid/flent), but it's not really of any use
without netperf.

Kind regards,
Till
