Damian,
All the code in dnsmasq carries the following statement, so you elect to use the entire application under
the terms of GPLv2.
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; version 2 dated June, 1991, or
(at your option) version 3 dated 29 June, 2007.
BTW, what's a "small cell product"?
Cheers,
Simon.
