Your acting on antiquidated information. The public version of gated which supports OSPF may be used without fee. NextHop changed the licensing when Merit gave it up. There are 6 versions of gated floating around: oldest - this is the last UMich release, (maybe version 3.2?) BSD-style license. RSD, release - a fork of this release, at ftp://ftp.isi.edu/ra/RSd/rsd-1.3.tar.gz carrying the same license, this introduced the RSD stuff which was folded back into the main gated release later on. The "Merit" public releases, last was 3.5.11, this carried a convoluted license which permitted use of gated internally, except for "service providers" (whatever, I think they were attempting to stick the ISP's for a fee) The Merit commercial releases, which are supersets of the public releases (and carry many useful BGPisms) and which ended with 3.6 The NextHop public releases which start with 3.6 Public and carry a GNU-like license (basically, you can do what you want with the public code but the second you modify it, you must give all mods to NextHop) The NextHop commercial releases. The 3.6 "Public" Gated code can be had by going to http://www.gated.org, and filling out the webpage request for it (click on the Public Code link) The license is right there, there is no fee mentioned.
