>Description:
It was mentioned in several journals and blogs that
the SUN-derived RPC code has a very restrictive license.
The specific license for NetBSD code says (1)

"Users may copy or modify Sun RPC without charge, but are not authorized
to license or distribute it to anyone else except as part of a product or
program developed by the user."

Some linux developers got permission from SUN/Oracle to release the common RPC code under a three clause BSD license.

http://blogs.computerworlduk.com/simon-says/2010/08/gnulinux-finally-free-software/index.htm

>How-To-Repeat:
(1) src/lib/libc/rpc/DISCLAIMER
>Fix:
I asked Simon Phipps a bit more about this, his answer was:
_____________
The permission to relicense was given to Red Hat. I believe you can find it here:

http://sources.redhat.com/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=a7ab6ec83e144dafdc7c46b8943288f450f8e320

S.
______________
It can be confirmed that the code there is under a three clause BSD license.
It looks like Redhat also applied the change to the userland tirpc code derived from BSD.

State-Changed-When: Wed, 02 Jan 2013 20:11:53 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
As we don't have any contact in Oracle (who own this copyright now) that we
could ask for a license change the only feasible option seems to be to
re-base our code on the code in "glibc".
