Indeed, while eznec is indeed not Free, Libre, or Open, there is,
fortunately, a Free and Open Source package [0] based on the same Lawrence
Livermore National Lab numerical electromagnetics code [1] as eznec.

Now, while I'm disappointed that we no longer need to fret about fraught
licenses, I am heartened to find a better thing for us to deliberate: was
it a good idea to port the Fortran code to C? I hear Fortran is coming
back into vogue [2].
