Re: Enable BIND cache server to resolve chinese domain name?

I don't think the root zone is sufficiently original to be legally copyrightable. And we don't have database copyright in the US.

Even if it were copyrightable, it is made avaiable for download hence there is good reason to assume an implied license.
