About that copyright:
First, initially they make it public in year 2002-2003, please search archives...
I made many changes to this module, main of them is that sqlippool _not_ create
different pool of sql connections for _each_ configured pool of ip-addresses.
Second, when I made this patched module available in 2003 on the web for public,
I also ask confirmation for it, they are agreed, as I know. Sorry, but I not have
that message already.
I think that if they want to stay that code incaccessible for public, then they
should not post it to freeradius-list. But they did.
