qmail, DJB licensing

[Reini Urban <rurban at x-ray dot at>]

What are the isues about qmail license restrictions now?

Most know that it's vastly "superior" over other MTA's.
(i.e. people tend to like it more)
E.g. sourceware uses qmail
  http://sources.redhat.com/lists.html#what-software

I see in the thread around
  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg01651.html,
that qmail has no acceptable license to include it into cygwin,
because it cannot be guaranteed that it will work reliably on that 
"crappy platform" (simplified). Maybe just with dropping vpopmail support.

Still the last word?
Maybe provide a source package only? Igor suggested such a trick, but 
then the thread drifted into something completely different. (RPM 
support, ant, ...)

Sergey's original porting thread
  http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg01593.html
also drifted into something completely different. (mysql server)

Still waiting on DJB's approval?
