In your code, you say:
* COPYLEFT;
* This programs copyright status is currently undetermined. Much of
* the code in it comes from the fping2 program which used to be licensed
* under the Stanford General Software License (available at
* http://graphics.stanford.edu/software/license.html). It is presently
* unclear what license (if any) applies to the original code at the
* moment.
Can you remind me again what is unclear about the license status of the
code that you are working from? Why wouldn't we use:
/* fping website: http://www.fping.com

* Current maintainers of fping:
*
* ZeroHype Technologies Inc. (http://www.zerohype.com)
* Suggestions and patches, please email noc at zerohype.com
