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 :)

cheers,
