The Inner Net License drops condition 4.

The Inner Net License drops condition 4.
Well, despite being based on BSD, the addition of clause 0 makes this a new license. If Clause 0 is invoked, the result is non-free.
Is this license on anything in Fedora?

Right. But it is not dissimilar to the sell-yourself-into-slavery clause in the GPLv3, so it should be okay.

radvd uses it, and probably a few other things in the IPv6 context. (It may be KAME-related.) getaddrinfo in glibc is partly covered by it, too (without the advertising clause).
Thanks, Florian

Okay. radvd license is added as "radvd". Inner Net License (radvd with advertising clause waived) is added as "Inner-Net".
