This package is based on ares 1.1.1 (written by Greg Hudson). I decided to
fork and release a separate project since the ares author didn't want the

regard to c-ares (or by all means the original ares too), get in touch with us

c-ares is of course distributed under the same MIT-style license as the
original ares.
