The license of DHCP
(http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP/dhcp-copyright.html) is the modified
BSD licence, listed as compatible with the GPL.

Crypix is licenced under the Cryptix General License
(http://www.cryptix.org/docs/license.html) which is listed as
compatible with the GPL. Besides, Raif Naffah wrote it.

Again, it is not a big deal since the pieces used are so small. If there
is a problem I will replace them.
