traceroute      - BSD license
expect          - public domain, from NIST.  Love your govt.  :-)
top             - BSDish license, certainly free to use.
proctool        - no idea
sudo            - GPL
lsof            - BSD license
gzip            - GPL
wu-ftpd         - dunno, probably GPL.

A BSD style license means you are free to use it as you wish, and don't
have to publish your modifications to the original source base.  A GPL
is still free, except you are required to publish source code at all
times, including modifications you have made.

Yes, I know that this is a gross simplification, please don't flame me.
I've had enough of licensing flame wars.
