It sure qualifies. I am not sure if the distributions would be particular happy, but yes it definitely needs to be done. BTW: I guess most distributions have reasonable current own "forks".

Why would the distributions not be happy with a new release?
I am a packager at Mageia, and I hear that some distros plan to move away from net-tools Because there is no releases. Plain and simple. :-)
Latest release was in 2001, and the git log show development in every year since.
Mageia and Redhat/Fedora use a «git archive» from your SourceForge git repo.
I'd say that a new release is about time. :-)

A fork may not modify the license and the license of 1.60 is wrong.
licensing is unrelated to this bug. if you have an issue to bring up, please file a new dedicated bug for it.
net-tools-2.10 is now available!
