There are some gethostby_r, getnetby_r, ... etc routines in the
linuxthreads port (/usr/ports/devel/linuxthreads/files). These
came from the original linuxthreads package, and have no copyright
on them. I never researched the copyright status of them, but
I don't think they are GPL, though you might want to do further
research on their history if you use them.
