:For DJBDNS, this would mean extracting the changes to the code as
:a set of patches, and then having the new owners apply the patches
:to the unaltered DJBDNS code, since the binaries of the modified
:code themselves are not permitted to be redistributed.
It means nothing of the sort. Unless DJBDNS explicitly says that
a change of ownership (company bought, merger,... ) requires doing
the above very silly thing, there is no legal risk whatsoever.
A company being sold to another company is a very, very, very
different beast then a company selling software commercially.
