Just looking at the top of .c and .h files, it should read:

 * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms are permitted
 * provided that this notice is preserved and due credit is given

and not

 * Redistribution and use in source and binary forms are permitted
 * provided that this notice is preserved and due credit is given
 * to the original author and the contributors.  The author accepts no
 * responsibility and is not changed in any way.

(the later makes no sense).  Anyway, I'd appreciate any bug fixes or
patches that you can feed back to me so that it can be fitted to FreeBSD
systems which don't include it as part of the distribution.

cheers,
