  The freeradius-client code is BSD licensed, but I don't like the API.

  The libfreeradius-radius code is LGPL'd.  It's much better, but it
does have the LGPL.

  There is a pressing need for a BSD licensed RADIUS library.  Too many
vendors "roll their own".  And get pretty much everything wrong.
