2725ada6b2a776abaadd22b0006097eae9ba2b02Julian Kornberger ICANN is in the process of introducing a new Key Signing Key (KSK) for
2725ada6b2a776abaadd22b0006097eae9ba2b02Julian Kornberger the global root zone. BIND has multiple methods for managing DNSSEC
3bba6fbf5fce9f7d72b39197fde41b9db2d4f9b5Eugen Kuksa trust anchors, with somewhat different behaviors. If the root
3bba6fbf5fce9f7d72b39197fde41b9db2d4f9b5Eugen Kuksa key is configured using the <span class="command"><strong>managed-keys</strong></span>
3bba6fbf5fce9f7d72b39197fde41b9db2d4f9b5Eugen Kuksa statement, or if the pre-configured root key is enabled by using
3bba6fbf5fce9f7d72b39197fde41b9db2d4f9b5Eugen Kuksa <span class="command"><strong>dnssec-validation auto</strong></span>, then BIND can keep
7a2c573f6c4d0c58a06630edb9f26f4210405107Eugen Kuksa keys up to date automatically. Servers configured in this way
3bba6fbf5fce9f7d72b39197fde41b9db2d4f9b5Eugen Kuksa will roll seamlessly to the new key when it is published in
7a2c573f6c4d0c58a06630edb9f26f4210405107Eugen Kuksa the root zone. However, keys configured using the
7809c2488a3ccdea588497a9e6caf42ee68ae92eEugen Kuksa <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span> statement are not automatically
2725ada6b2a776abaadd22b0006097eae9ba2b02Julian Kornberger maintained. If your server is performing DNSSEC validation
2725ada6b2a776abaadd22b0006097eae9ba2b02Julian Kornberger and is configured using <span class="command"><strong>trusted-keys</strong></span>, you are
2725ada6b2a776abaadd22b0006097eae9ba2b02Julian Kornberger advised to change your configuration before the root zone begins
452917beccb615a9b87e602d53b66be2d1296c10Eugen Kuksa signing with the new KSK. This is currently scheduled for
6f4c86ff1ef1c5836e5e3c749ecaf2566e9b763a= October 11, 2017.

<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>.
