I have some replacement functions for inet_ntop & inet_pton which I found in the kaffe sources, these don't include coyright notices and compile ok on Cygwin.
Hallo Gerrit,
I've explicitely included them for Cygwin :)
Hmm, then I fetched them before this happened;) Does that mean my version is not copyrighted then......?
Hmm, weird. Current replace/inet_*.c files in Kaffe's CVS are licensed under

I got them from IRCII, which mentions that these files come from ISC: ftp://ircftp.au.eterna.com.au/pub/ircII/ircii-current/ircii/doc/Copyright
The upstream source seems to be bind:
http://idsa.irisa.fr/cgi-bin/bind/http/source/lib/isc/inet_ntop.c
I hope this clears up any confusion wrt to licensing of the inet_* files. Looking at the kaffe CVS, it seems that the files were checked in from the start with appropriate copyright notices:
http://www.kaffe.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/kaffe/replace/inet_ntop.c?annotate=1.1
So I guess you simply had a bit of bad luck with CVS :)
