Is it? I see it as educational software which is also included in
some pen-testing systems. We ship other software which could be
seen as having an equal legal status.
I have no problem in keeping this outside of master, I'm just
working on packaging more and more pen-testing software so if it
can be included, good, if not, it'll be no problem.

Thanks for reviewing them all.
What do you think about adding some kind of suckless/minimal
build-system thing? They are mostly very repetive. I don't know
if we gain something with it, but the url format would be one
thing. I've asked about this in the first email I think.
