b72d5b75fd6f5bb08d29f65652d60058fc3a2608Michael Corcoran <p>
b72d5b75fd6f5bb08d29f65652d60058fc3a2608Michael Corcoran ICANN is in the process of introducing a new Key Signing Key (KSK) for
b72d5b75fd6f5bb08d29f65652d60058fc3a2608Michael Corcoran the global root zone. BIND has multiple methods for managing DNSSEC
trust anchors, with somewhat different behaviors. If the root
key is configured using the <span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span>
statement, or if the pre-configured root key is enabled by using
<span class="command"><strong>dnssec-validation auto</strong></span>, then BIND can keep keys up
to date automatically. Servers configured in this way should have
begun the process of rolling to the new key when it was published in
the root zone in July 2017. However, keys configured using the
<span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span> statement are not automatically
maintained. If your server is performing DNSSEC validation and is
configured using <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span>, you are advised to
change your configuration before the root zone begins signing with
the new KSK. This is currently scheduled for October 11, 2017.
</p>
<p>
This release includes an updated version of the
<code class="filename">bind.keys</code> file containing the new root
key. This file can also be downloaded from
<a class="link" href="https://www.isc.org/bind-keys" target="_top">

<a name="relnotes_license"></a>License Change</h3></div></div></div>
<p>
With the release of BIND 9.11.0, ISC changed to the open
source license for BIND from the ISC license to the Mozilla
Public License (MPL 2.0).
</p>
<p>
The MPL-2.0 license requires that if you make changes to
licensed software (e.g. BIND) and distribute them outside
your organization, that you publish those changes under that
same license. It does not require that you publish or disclose
anything other than the changes you made to our software.
</p>
<p>
This new requirement will not affect anyone who is using BIND
without redistributing it, nor anyone redistributing it without
changes, therefore this change will be without consequence
for most individuals and organizations who are using BIND.
</p>
<p>
Those unsure whether or not the license change affects their
use of BIND, or who wish to discuss how to comply with the
license may contact ISC at <a class="link" href="https://www.isc.org/mission/contact/" target="_top">
https://www.isc.org/mission/contact/</a>.
