"Ipfilter in P2P - File Sharing
Recently many filesharing programs got in their features one dedicated to filter ips range or single ip which are unwanted and undesired . There are programs working exclusively on banning ips range from the internet connection of users , acting like a firewall , it's the case of Peerguardian and Protowall . Unconvenient with this last choice is that users won't be able to see everything that's hosted or is running over the ips range banned, just like sites or other services ."
This seems out of place. There is a differance between Ipfilter the program and the technique of ip filtering. This does not belong in this article.
At first glance, the license looks a lot like BSD Licenses, ut does not allow redistribution of modified versions.
This is not true... the license allows distribution of both modified and unmodified versions (according to the linked license text at the references section). It only says it must be distributed under the same conditions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.0.198.173 ( talk) 22:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Here's how it appears in the NetBSD source tree. It looks like BSD but not quite. Definitely not GPL at least, as claimed in the article.
The CVS history actually says it was at one point licensed under the GPL but it's now BSD-ish. -- 88.113.162.167 ( talk) 13:03, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

This is the correct license since 1993. Note that Darren was working for Sun.
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on IPFilter. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
This message was posted before February 2018.
After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than
regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors
have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the
RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{
source check}}
(last update: 5 June 2024).
Cheers.— InternetArchiveBot ( Report bug) 08:13, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
