The license for the actual implementation was, last time someone
looked into this, fairly nasty (read: unacceptable to the Project).
It's possible that recent values of BIND have fixed this.  On the
other hand, I've heard complaints that the ISC has started applying an
unacceptable license to their recent releases of other software, in
which case we may be screwed totally.
