According to Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DomainKeys the GPL option is there "for the purpose of the DKIM/IETF Working Group". That note has been added to the wiki on 21:07, 12 January 2006 by an anonymous user connecting from 66.228.162.107 (newspend-mac.corp.yahoo.com). The DomainKeys Patent License Agreement is still not mentioned in http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html > Well, this certainly removes that showstopper. However, I'm concerned about that "and no other version". GPLv3 should come in a few months and Courier's Copyright holder may want to use it. Then, there will still be an incompatibility: would the DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) addition have to be reverted in that case? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
