 }}</ref> Previously the package was distributed free of charge as [[license-free software]]. However this did not permit the distribution of modified versions of djbdns, which was one of the core principles of [[open-source software]]. Consequently, it was not included in those [[Linux distribution]]s which required all components to be open-source.
