Of course we can. We will release the new version approximфtely in the end
of the next week. It will be under BSD license. It changed much from the
original release. We added caching and ported PADL nss_ldap module (changes
are minimal, and they mostly reside in bsdnss.c file, which is FreeBSD
specific). We are currently working on get**ent functions. And we will
include them in the new release.

The new FreeBSD committer, Christian Peron also has worked on project,
related to the LookupD. And we are currently discussing the future of our
projects.
