The OZPLB would allow you to do that. In fact, the OZPLB should be
indistinguishable from a straight BSD licence outside Australia (but
this is my non-lawyer view, don't take it for granted).

However, I don't think you'll find that old NICTA release suitable for
commercial deployment: it's very dated and totally unsupported. OKL4
is the industrial-strength code base.
