well, they didn't list it in their license page: http://www.6wind.com/ 
PDF/prod/web-management/license.html

I think its best to a) notify the company and b) get busy adding IPv6  
support to m0n0wall (and/or pfSense).   6wind runs over the
top of MontaVista Linux, not FreeBSD, and we all know how *wrong*  
that decision can be.

We the coming release of pfSense on ixp42x-based systems, m0n0wall/ 
pfSense may start to look at lot more attractive for embedded routers.
