Are you sure? The only licensing information I can find is in
socketcand.c, and it says:

 * Andre Naujoks (the socket server stuff)
 * Oliver Hartkopp (the rest)
 * Jan-Niklas Meier (extensions for use with kayak)

So the license is either GPLv2 or BSD-3c.

[Buildroot] [PATCH] socketcand: add license information

[Gilles Talis]

Dear Thomas Petazzoni,

No, I am not sure. And I agree with you, the license information for this
package is scarce and confusing. Arch-linux distribution tagged it as GPLv2
[1], and the package maintainer did not seem to disagree. This is why I
went with GPLv2. Would you prefer we did not add license information at all?

Thanks
Gilles

All apologies for top-posting and HTML format. My gmail parameters
changed against my will :-(. I am fixing it now.
Hope this is better :-)
