I am maintaining a firewall script[1], which is shipped[2] with Debian GNU/Linux and Ubuntu. I am working on improving the script when dealing with IPv6 traffic, and would like to use your very useful script as published in RFC 4890[3]. Of course, I'll give proper attribution--as required by Open Source licenses[4]. Furthermore, I believe it's not just me or my firewall script, but also others and other firewall scripts who could benefit from your script. Releasing it under an Open Source license makes the script more accesible for usage. It would contribute to the development of the internet. The 2-clause BSD license[5] is such an Open Source license; others will likely be fine too. Replying to this message and stating: "I release the example script to configure icmpv6 firewall rules as published in rfc 4890 under the 2-clause BSD license" would suffice. Thanks a lot for your work!
