Re: distribution of Bind software through our website

[Victoria Risk]

Hi Shubham,

As Michael said, BIND is open source and as long as you comply with the MPL 2.0 license, you can redistribute it freely. We do have a ‘current’ directory at https://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind9/cur/, you might want to just mirror that. We would prefer if you didn’t redistribute the end-of-life ancient versions that we are no longer maintaining.

The text of the MPL2.0 license is here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/

The BIND software is released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. You can refer to the LICENSE file to learn about your rights in BIND or most other open source projects. The only exception to my knowledge would be projects with no license - those are all rights reserved by default to protect authors who do not wish to grant additional rights for their software.

I'm also hosting a mirror of BIND at git.ghnou.su/mir/bind without issues.
