Heh. No I haven't.

I don't a license to own a book. Neither do I need a license to own a 
copy of a piece of software under any copyright law.

I see you don't like using software that does not give you explicit 
right to redistribute modified versions of it.

That's a rather rational strong feeling not to use tinydns over bind.

Forget about the security history and performance and ease of use of the 
software concerned. You are not allowed to redistribute modified 
versions (although you can redistribute the original in this particular 
case) and that's all you need to consider.

David Hart,

Here's is my strong feelings to use tinydns over bind.

The tinydns program has a small memory footprint, has no history of 
security holes whatsoever, is easy to configure and maintain, is fast 
and has the minor benefit of requiring no restart of the program when 
the dns configuration is updated.
