Jan, I'm working on creating Debian packages of xtables-addons.  I'm not a
Debian developer, but I can still post the packages.

But there's a problem:  there's no overall license file, and a lot of the source
files don't have license statements in them.  Here are the source files I find
with no license:

extensions/libxt_condition.c
extensions/libxt_ECHO.c
extensions/libxt_ipp2p.c
extensions/libxt_LOGMARK.c
extensions/libxt_TARPIT.c
extensions/libxt_TEE.c

The remaining source files are all GPL.

Can the above files be released under GPL too?  Most of them don't have
copyright statements in them.  Do you/we know who their authors are?

I know very little about licenses.  What about all of the other files in the
archive?  Do they need to be licensed too, and would a general COPYING file such
as one usually sees cover them all?

Thanks,
Andrew.
