You can't know for sure how Globe.Net intended to license the software, especially given their demonstrated naïvete made clear by their failure to specify license terms in their source.
They requested that the code be submitted to a project that they knew was licensed under the GPL.
If they decide they didn't know inclusion meant GPL (or change their mind down the road and claim ignorance), you can be sure the legal battle will be hell.
I don't think so. But that's my $0.02.
You really must have explicit license terms in order to include sql_ippool (or any contrib software).
For one-line patches? If that was a serious worry, then nearly every GPL'd project would be vulnerable to the same issues. I'm not worried about it too much. Alan DeKok.
