Points to note on licensing

One thing to look for with modules from places like puppetforge, is licensing. Generally Apache v2 or MIT licences for modules are ok to include in the main SecGen github repository, however licensing that reserved rights and allows copyright of code will not be accepted into the main SecGen github repository.
The main reason we do not accept these types of licences is that we want to keep SecGen as foss (free open source software) and allowing code with copyright will mean that SecGen will no longer be free and open source software.
All that aside, this doesn't however affect the local copy of the individual, therefore you can download SecGen and modify as many copyrighted modules to your local copy, as long as none of it touches the main SecGen repository.
